Johann Christoph Keller

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Christoph Keller (* 1732 in Winnenden ; † 1801 ) was a German builder from the Baroque era who worked primarily in Heilbronn .

Born in Winnenden, he came to Heilbronn via Herrenberg, where he received citizenship on August 22, 1757. Here he built several new buildings on behalf of the municipal building authority, which mentions him in 1769 as a building attendant and in 1772 as a foreman: from 1765 the municipal archive building on Kieselmarkt , around 1770 the two-storey hall building Schießhaus am Hammelwasen and in 1784 the one that the city rented to the knightly canton of Kraichgau Kraichgau archive on the north side of the harbor market. His other buildings in Heilbronn include the Roßkampfsche Haus, built in 1790 and destroyed in 1944, at Presencegasse 16 (today: Kaiserstraße , corner of Allee ) and theUnicorn pharmacy .
