Life
Joseph Caspar Jeuch was born on November 21, 1811 in Baden as the son of Caspar Anton and Veronika Jeuch. The father Caspar Anton ran a spa hotel and spa. Joseph Caspar learned his profession from 1829–1835 under Friedrich von Gärtner in Munich at the Royal Bavarian Academy . After a study trip to Italy , he worked as a freelance architect in his hometown of Baden from 1837, which experienced a boom as a spa town during this time, which is why many new residential buildings, hotels, and spa and bathing facilities were built. In 1845 he married Maria Carolina Oederlin in an established position.
As construction manager of Baden, he shaped the renovation of the old town from 1842 to 1855 and a second time between 1857 and 1866 when the fortifications were razed and the railway was built. Public construction tasks in the canton of Aargau included various school buildings throughout the canton, the Birr schoolhouse together with the grave monument of the educator Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi on his 100th birthday in 1846 is particularly noteworthy . Jeuch built numerous sacred buildings, including the Endingen synagogue in the Moorish style from 1850–1852 and from 1851 to 1853 the Catholic parish church of St. Peter and Paul in Leuggern , which was one of the first neo-Gothic church buildings in Switzerland to attract great attention.
In architecture competitions, for example in 1858 for the Polytechnic in Zurich or 1855–1856 for the Elisabethenkirche in Basel, Jeuch's competition entries were based on designs by Gottfried Semper , Ferdinand Stadler , Leonhard Zeugheer or Gustav Albert Wegmann .
The Swiss Association of Engineers and Architects (SIA) made him an honorary member in 1887.
Joseph Caspar Jeuch died in Baden on August 14, 1895.
