Johann Gottfried Schlegel (precise dates unknown) was in the duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach from 1767 to 1774 princely state architect until the result of the fire Weimar City Palace , the wrong arrangements for was dismissed from his post because he was accused of fire hit to have. The accusations made against him were unsustainable; Basically, he was the victim of an intrigue by Anton Georg Hauptmann , who had made some careless mistakes in the construction for reasons of cost or favored them with "steaming offers" and blamed them on him. Instead, he was supposedly suspected of having “some derangement of his soul powers”. His complaint before the Reichshofrat was unsuccessful. In 1769, Hauptmann built a workhouse based on his design on today's Sophienstiftsplatz in Weimar in 1769, but this was demolished in 1876/77 in favor of a more generous renovation. The process against his release dragged on until 1789. Johann Friedrich Rudolf Steiner succeeded him in Weimar . Schlegel also provided the plans u. a. for the Princely House of Weimar and the Wittumspalais , in which the famous round tables of the Duchess Anna Amalia took place.

After this time, a Johann Gottfried Schlegel worked as a master builder in Gera . However, the appointment as master builder may have meant a downgrade compared to his position in Weimar. Schlegel fled from Weimar to Gera via Leipzig.

It should be noted that Friedrich Gabriel Resewitz reveals numerous details about a master builder Schlegel in a letter to Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock dated September 25, 1765. Accordingly, he was allegedly previously in Prussian service. However, it is not certain whether it is the same person who worked in Weimar as the princely master builder from 1767.
