Magnus Hueber
Magnus Hueber (born September 4, 1771 in Oberperfuss near Innsbruck, † February 7, 1856 ) was a Tyrolean mountain farmer and surveyor . He is the last in the series of so-called peasant cartographers .
As the son of Blasius Hueber (1735–1814) and his wife Magdalena, née Kremser (1738–1790), who had mapped the Atlas Tyrolensis with Peter Anich , his older cousin Anton Kirchebner called in around 1790 for the surveying of Upper Austria . The survey of the Breisgau that had begun was discontinued in 1794 because of the outbreak of war there.
After that, he would have returned to his father's farm and only acted locally as a surveyor. The municipality of Oberperfuss counts him, along with Anich and other cartographers, among their famous personalities.
Magnus Hueber married the farmer's daughter Maria Kirchebner in Oberperfuss in 1796. The two had nine children together.
