Live and act
Johann Joseph Nietner, the son of the Berlin bricklayer Johann Christian Nietner and Louisa Rosina, née Gäwernick, trained as a gardener. He completed his apprenticeship from 1743 to 1746 with the planner Johann Justus Sello in the Berlin zoo . He then went on a hike , on which he finally came to Neuwied in the service of Count Johann Friedrich Alexander zu Wied-Neuwied . Court gardener Friedrich Bahck attests to his stay there from October 1, 1748 to November 30, 1750 in the so-called clientele , which is now kept in the court gardening museum of Glienicke Palace. His stay in Neuwied was followed by another assistant job in Niederschönhausen until 1754, where Friedrich II's wife , Elisabeth Christine , lived in Schönhausen Palace during the summer months .
On October 13, 1755, Nietner married Anna Catharina Sello, one of the twin daughters of his former teacher. In the same year the couple moved to Sagan in Silesia. There he took over the office of court gardener for Prince Ferdinand Philipp von Lobkowitz. In 1769 Elisabeth Christine appointed him to the court gardener position in Niederschönhausen, which he held until his retirement in 1795.
Of his nine children, two sons took up the gardening profession. Christian Wilhelm , born in 1756, succeeded him in Niederschönhausen, and Carl Friedrich , born in 1766, took over the position of court gardener in Caputh and then at the New Palace in Potsdam's Sanssouci Park .
