Life

family

Andreae was the son of the married couple Johann Ludwig Andreae and Anna Rosina, née Spielbuehler. His sister was baptized in 1716. In 1721 Johann Philipp Andreae married and received Nuremberg citizenship .

Apprenticeship as a globe maker

Presumably under the guidance of his father, he subsequently continued to publish globes and produce maps. In 1725 he restored the globe from 1520 created by Johannes Schöner .

Cooperation with Johann Christoph Berndt

The engraver and mechanic Johann Christoph Berndt worked with him until 1733 and relocated the 13.5 cm globes created by Andrae around 1726 again with slight changes from 1756 and marked them with vignettes in French. He used the original copper plates, which were revised and re-used by Johann Georg Klinger (1764–1806) in 1790 .

Escape from Nuremberg and a new beginning

Among other things through his participation in the published diatribe on the Nuremberg Council , engraved by Johann Christoph Berndt , Andreae was sentenced to life imprisonment on April 17, 1734 after the indictment of 1732 and the joint arrest in 1733 . On March 27, 1734 Andreae fled to Schwabach, where from 1737 he maintained the Fabrique de globorum and the factory for gold and silver goods from Leon .

Astronomical card game

Self-published in 1719, based on Georg Philipp Harsdörfer (1607-1658), a card game can be found in the Sky Atlas known by Firmamentum Firminianum , which Thomas Corbinianus (1694-1767) published in 1730/31 as well as maps of the northern and southern starry sky and moon maps by Johannes Hevelius and Giovanni Riccioli .
