Johann Nepomuk Pertsch

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Nepomuk Pertsch (* 1780/1784 in Buchhorn a. Bodensee ; † July 27, 1835 in Munich ) was a German architect and painter in the period of classicism .

Pertsch was a pupil of the Munich architect Karl von Fischer and during the reign of King Ludwig I senior building officer in Munich. According to Pertsch's plans, the first Protestant church in Munich , consecrated in 1833, was built. After the construction of a second Protestant church in Munich , Pertsch's church building was called St. Matthäus from around 1885.

In 1818 Pertsch had helped his older brother, the well-known architect Matthäus Pertsch (1869–1834), among other things, with the construction of the Greek Orthodox Church of San Nicolò dei Greci in Trieste . Later Johann Nepomuk Pertsch worked for a toll authority in Trento . Study trips to Rome , Florence and Venice are documented.

As Munich's chief building officer, Pertsch built the Fronfeste am Anger in 1824 , a remand prison that no longer exists today.

St. Matthäus an der Sonnenstrasse (at the confluence of today's Schwanthaler Strasse), which was demolished in 1938 by the National Socialists

Peitsch designed the first Protestant parish church in Munich as his main work. For a long time, King Ludwig I had designs including those by Leo von Klenze. In 1827 he finally approved the construction on Sonnenstrasse near Munich's Karlsplatz (Stachus) based on a design by the royal building officer Johann Nepomuk Pertsch, who proposed a classicist rotunda with a tower.
