Johann Carl Trumler (* 1657 in Eggenburg ; † May 18, 1720 in Vienna ) was master builder at St. Stephen's Cathedral in 1713 and imperial court stonemason master . It is also referred to in the scriptures as Trummer . A relationship with the Kaisersteinbruch master stonemason Martin Trumler is possible, but not documented.
Live and act
On May 14, 1687, he presented his masterpiece to the Wiener Bauhütte . Like almost everyone else, he was punished, here with 18 Reichstalers - because it contained clichéd detectors.

From 1688 to 1713 he lived in the Gäminger Hof near the Ruprechtskirche in Vienna.
On April 24, 1688, the young master accepted Michael Wallner von Mülln in Salzburg as an apprentice. An entry in the guild book on October 20, 1692 informs that this apprentice had gone through and had himself taken in by the Salzburg City Guard. But he ran away again there and returned to Vienna. So the trade decided on July 22nd, 1699, for the sake of grace, to let him learn. Before the acquittal and receipt of the stonemason's secret , however, he should put 15 fl in the ark as a punishment and lay down the guilty party for the master. He was awarded again to Master Trumler and acquitted on February 14, 1700.
His wife Maria Rosina, a widowed Glimpfinger, died on July 15, 1713 of hiz and gall fever at the age of 59. In her will of December 29, 1711, she wished to be buried in St. Stephen's Cemetery ... without any pomp and expense . Son Paul Jacob Glimpfinger first marriage was 1.000 fl .. the husband wanted by Paul Jacob not withdraw his fatherly hand, but a kindly eye on him . The other three children inherited 3,000 florins, she was a wealthy woman. Trumler can be seen as an average earning master.
His stepson Paul Jacob Glimpfinger became a Jesuit , but resigned and was taken over by his stepfather on June 22, 1687 to learn.
From 1714 Trumler became a member of the Outer Council of the City of Vienna.
Connection to the Kaisersteinbrucher Brotherhood
- The Viennese stonemason craft made him the teacher for the boy Johann Paul Schilck . When he married Catharina Fuxin, widow of the master stonemason and former judge in the imperial quarry Reichardt Fux on November 23, 1700 in the Schottenkirche in Vienna , Johann Carl Trumler was best man. It was an unwritten law in Kaisersteinbruch that whoever received the judge's widow as a wife took over the office at the next opportunity. Schilck was a judge there from 1711 to 1722. This marriage lasted 45 years, which was a rare occurrence at the time due to the lifespan.
- When master Martin Trumler died in Kaisersteinbruch in 1705 and his widow Maria Elisabetha married the journeyman Elias Hügel on November 14, 1706 , he was also the best man there . We can only guess about the relationship and the position to the Trumlerin, but she had chosen him as a witness. Here stood a woman with four children, 20-year-old Franz , with Maria Regina, Ambrosius and one-year-old Maximilian .

At the same time as the cathedral builder, Trumler moved to the St. Stephen's cemetery, next to the community school. In the place of today's Curhaus there was once the medieval bourgeois school, until the founding of the Vienna University in 1365, and the building hut of St. Stephan, in which the guild of stonemasons had their ark and where they also celebrated their festivals. The respective cathedral builder also lived here.
His authority was until 1716 the Prince Archbishop Franz Ferdinand Freiherr von Rummel , the in Jesuit College Ingolstadt trained educators and religious teachers of the Holy Roman Emperor Joseph I 's successor, the first cardinal of Vienna, Count Sigismund of Kollonitz whose church rise in Jesuit convict in Neuhaus began in Bohemia .
Trumler received 5 guilders a year for his "dress money" . In 1713, the year of the plague in Vienna, Emperor Charles VI. in the cathedral the pledge to build a church when the epidemic dies down. Two years later, construction work began on the imperial church , in which the court master stonemason Johann Carl Trumler worked until the end of his life.
