Life
Johann Georg Rupp came from a family traditionally active in the stonemasonry trade and attended the Stuttgart Polytechnic after completing an apprenticeship as a bricklayer or carpenter . After studying architecture, he worked as a construction technician in Kirchheim (Teck) .
When he returned to Reutlingen, he worked there until 1871 as city planning director in the municipal building administration.
His focus was Gothic architecture and he was involved in the restoration of the Marienkirche in Reutlingen. In addition to his work as an adviser to the Ulm Minster , he became known nationwide for his palace and church buildings.
His archaeological investigations in 1858 on the "Old Castle" on Gönninger Landstrasse led to the construction of a model ruin that is no longer preserved.
In 1871 he retired and was awarded the Frederick Order and the honorary title of “Building Officer” on the occasion of his golden wedding anniversary .
In 1845 Gottlob Johann Gutekunst painted a portrait of Rupp in oil on canvas.
