Johann Ludwig Weinbrenner (* 1790 in Karlsruhe , † 1858 ) was a Baden architect . He became known for the construction of sacred buildings and town halls in the Grand Duchy of Baden , most of which were built between 1818 and 1835.

Live and act

Johann Ludwig Weinbrenner was the nephew of the architect Friedrich Weinbrenner . From 1802 to 1808 he studied architecture at his uncle's building school in Karlsruhe . Until 1814 he worked in the grand ducal building office and supervised the construction of the new Evangelical City Church in Karlsruhe . He spent the years from 1814 to 1817 on a scholarship in Rome, which resulted in a friendship with Friedrich von Gärtner . From 1819 he was a district master builder in Müllheim . Then he took over the same post in Loerrach . From 1825 he was a district master builder in Baden-Baden and from 1835 in Rastatt . In his later buildings he increasingly broke away from the classicist architectural style of Friedrich Weinbrenner and joined the historicizing direction of the round arch style , as represented by his successors Heinrich Hübsch and Friedrich von Gärtner.
