from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Georg Üblhör , also Ueblher , Üblher , Übelherr , Ybelher and others (born March 23, 1703 in Wessobrunn ; † April 27, 1763 in Maria Steinbach ) was a German plasterer and sculptor .

Life

Interior of the collegiate church of Wilhering Abbey

Johann Georg came from the second marriage of the carpenter Veit Üblher to Katharina Stiller; he was baptized on March 23, 1703 in the name of Georg. In the older literature there is the date of birth April 21, 1700, which is based on a confusion with a distantly related Johann Georg Üblher who died shortly after birth. He probably received his training in the workshops of the Wessobrunn school around Johann Baptist Zimmermann , also in the circle of courtly Munich decorative arts around Cuvilliés the Elder . In 1741 he married a daughter of the Wessobrunn architect Joseph Schmuzer .

In 1744 and again in 1758 he was named as the court stucco officer of the Kempten abbot Anselm Reichlin von Meldegg . He often worked with the Wessobrunn brothers Franz Xaver Feuchtmayer and Johann Michael Feuchtmayer the Younger . In working with them, Üblhör usually took on the figural-plastic work. After Üblhör's death, Feuchtmayer carried out the furnishing of the pilgrimage church of Vierzehnheiligen , which had been agreed with Johann Michael Feuchtmayer .
