Johann Christian Liège

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Christian Lüttich (* 1685–89 on an estate of Steinberg-Wispenstein ; † 1769 ) was a German builder.

Life

One of the holdings of the von Steinberg-Wispenstein family was Delligsen , where a Protestant pastor Johann Heinrich Lüttich can be traced back to 1689. This was probably his father. He completed an apprenticeship as a fortress builder probably at the court of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel.

In 1711 he was the construction manager at the Belvedere in the Tiergarten of Schrattenhofen , which was built for the Prince of Öttingen, and in 1712 he was construction director at the Oettinger Hof where the second wife Carl Ludwig came from.

1719–23 Lüttich designed an arcade-shaped building with two wings as an orangery for Weikersheim Castle .

From 1729 he planned the Carlsberg hunting lodge in Weikersheim.

Around 1730 was in Wolfenbüttel's service and in 1734 a captain in Habsburg service. Around 1731 he was supposed to prepare a cost estimate for the repair of the Philippsburg fortress , but was undercut by Gerhard Cornelius von Walrave .

In 1736/37 Lüttich designed the arcades in Weikersheim (they created an ideal relationship between the castle and the city). Between 1740 and 1745 he worked for the Weikersheimer Hof.

In 1743 Liège was a colonel in the Hanoverian service and head of the engineering corps. In 1754 he was promoted to major general.
