Kassian Singer
Kassian Singer (* 1712 in Götzens ; † January 16, 1759 in Kitzbühel ) was an Austrian builder and plasterer.
Life
Singer was trained by his father Jakob (1685–1760), who was a master builder in Schwaz . He spent his wandering years in Lower Austria and Upper Hungary. In 1745 he settled in Kitzbühel. After his early death in 1759, Singer's construction company was continued by his foreman, Andreas Hueber .
Singer's cousin was Franz Singer , who also worked as a master builder and plasterer in the Innsbruck area, and who created the Götzens parish church, one of the most important rococo churches in Tyrol.
