Jost Schilling
Jost Schilling (no surviving life data) from Immighausen , a current district of Lichtenfels (Hessen) in the Hessian district of Waldeck-Frankenberg , was an important carver and shape cutter in the Waldecker Land.
Jost Schilling, mentioned in a document from 1584 to 1602, was a pupil of Philipp Soldan . He lived and worked in front of Josias Wolrat Brützel , who also came from Immighausen and was even better known, and was one of the best-known model makers for cast-iron stove and grave slabs in his day. Schilling's carvings were still flat in the manner of the late Renaissance , while Brützel's works then showed greater baroque physicality and decorative diversity. The Marburg monument conservator Ludwig Bickell (1838–1901) believes that Schilling, who around 1591 had been obliged to produce several iron stove plates depicting the biblical oil miracle of Elisha , was probably the first to invent the subsequently widespread fashion, the stove pattern a hood resting on pillars . Some of Schillings' carved pulpits and cast iron grave slabs can still be found today in Immighausen and other churches in the Waldecker Land .
