Joseph Winkler (* 1665 in Burgschleinitz in Horn (Lower Austria) ; † 15. December 1748 in Kaisersteinbruch , Hungary, today Burgenland) was an Austrian master stonemasons of the Baroque , the judge elected in Kaisersteinbruch.

Life

wedding

Master stonemason Joseph Winkler married the 41-year-old widow Anna Christina of the former judge and master stonemason Sebastian Regondi on February 5, 1719 at the age of 54 in the basilica Maria Loretto , who brought five children into the marriage. The witnesses were four Kaisersteinbrucher masters, judge Johann Paul Schilck , Elias Hügel , Johann Baptist Kral and Simon Sasslaber .

Anna Christina was in the land register with three houses, a whole and part of a quarry and gardens, and had Winkler entered it after the marriage. Anna Christina Winklerin died while giving birth to a child on October 11, 1724. Your epitaph is located in the arcade of the Kaisersteinbruch Church .

The inscription reads:

ALHIER RESTES THE HONORABLE WIFE ANNA CHRISTINA WINCKHLERIN / GEWESTE STEINMÖTZ MEISTERIN ALHIER / HER AGE 48 YEARS / DIED OCTOBER 11, 1724 / GODT GIVE HER THE EWICHE CALM AND A WIFE. AMEN.

After her death, the widower became the sole heir, he married Eva Rosina (Euphrosina) N on March 9, 1725. In the 1735 register he was listed with two quarries.

Dispute on August 4, 1725: Joseph Winkler and Simon Sasslaber

The plaintiff, Simon Sasslaber, master stonemason named his wife Anastasia, stated and Joseph Winkler, also master stonemason, as the defendant, as having been buried too far (of rubble ) in his quarter quarry . A request is made to remedy and replace the damage that has occurred. With the involvement of judges ( Elias Hügel ) and jury members, including an impartial commission of master stonemasons Johann Georg Debrunner, Hans Georg Höller both from Loretto , and Johann Caspar Plamberger from Hof , the place at issue was heard, viewed, compared and arranged to be followed up by appointed by the authorities

That from below the poles already set by the cherry tree, then at the top and last, the already standing old stone, on which the letters A and F could be seen on the Sasslaber's sides, but between these old stones and set poles but the same in two stones set in a straight line, which on the Sasslaberian side with the letters A and S, that is Anastasia Sasslaberin, then on the Winkler's sides with the letters J and W, that is Joseph Winkler, the correct division and naming from now on as the future will be and remain.

Judicial office

The administrator of the royal court accused the judge Elias Hügel of various offenses, the wrong measurement of the collegiate forest and thus of the Holzertag, etc. This led to his removal from office in 1735. We know from documents that Master Elias wanted to achieve freedoms for the brotherhood in secular, but also ecclesiastical bodies such as the Bishop of Raab , but was betrayed. The authorities then appointed the 75-year-old master Joseph Winkler, a loyal servant of the rulership , as the new judge.

The masters of the Kaisersteinbruch stonemasonry

Winkler served as judge from 1736 to 1747, his co-masters in these years were Elias Hügel, Johann Baptist Regondi , Simon Sasslaber , Johann Paul Schilck , Johann Paul Schilck jun., Franz Trumler and Maximilian Trumler .

During Winkler's tenure, on January 17, 1736, the brotherhood sought support from the Wieselburg County , so that they could only get the dry bread from the hard stonemason work ... we have neither fields, meadows, vineyards, fields to use, like everyone else other surrounding Örther, ... we can therefore only pay half the portion (tax) .

Due to his old age, Judge Joseph Winkler was dismissed from office in October 1747 and Master Johann Baptist Regondi was appointed his successor. This was the last "Regondi" in Kaisersteinbruch. Winkler died on December 15, 1748. He left a considerable fortune, his epitaph is documented but not preserved. He founded a family of stonemasons that produced masters and judges in Kaisersteinbruch up to the 20th century.
