Life

In 1716, Obrist acquired civil rights by marrying into a carpenter's family in Augsburg, was widowed twice and in 1723 married a member of the Dirr family of sculptors in Weilheim in Upper Bavaria , to which Philipp Dirr also belonged, in the St. Georg parish church in Augsburg . Her daughter Maria Francisca Obrist married the sculptor Johann (es) Schlupf (* 1723 in Batzhausen, Upper Palatinate) in the basilica of St. Ulrich and Afra in 1753 , who had acquired his master's title in Augsburg in 1751. One of the couple's children, Sebastian Vitus Schlupf (1761–1826), worked as a sculptor and teacher for decorative drawing in Hamburg from 1792.
