Martin Lange
Martin Lange (also Marten Lange , born February 16, 1636 in Quedlinburg , † after 1702) was a master carpenter. He created several still preserved and the World Heritage Site belonging timbered houses in Quedlinburg.
Life
Lange was a son of Martin Lange and Catharina Frindt; they were given in a certificate in Quedlinburg on February 13, 1684 as the grandparents of Hans Lorenz Lange. Lange married on November 4, 1662 in the Quedlinburg Neustadt Elisabeth born. Müller called Becker from Gernrode , a daughter of Nicolaus Müller called Becker and Catharina born. Möhlenberg. It is recorded that on November 6, 1664, a child Lange was buried. One son, Johann (also Hans) Laurentius (also Lorentz) Lange was born around September 1665 in Quedlinburg. He married on November 1, 1697 in Mittweida Dorothea Elisabeth Hermann (born September 12, 1679 in Mittweida; † February 7, 1745 in Mittweida), a daughter of the Mittweidaer Seidenkramer and citizen, Gottlieb Hermann and Anna Dorothea Hermann nee. Hermann. Johann Laurentius Lange was a citizen in Mittweida since 1697, a merchant and trader and mayor of Mittweida, where he died on March 8, 1752. In the funeral entry he is described as "A man of great wealth and wealth, old. 86½". A second son was the carpenter Joachim Andreas Lange (born January 8, 1668 in Quedlinburg; † after March 16, 1735), married to Clara Margaretha, geb. Bodenstein, and in second marriage with Elisabeth Hartung († July 1717 in Quedlinburg), founder of the Dutch and British lines of the Lange family.
In 1671 he erected the first of his well-known buildings, Mühlenstrasse 17 . A total of about 28 buildings are known that were built up to 1705. 23 of these have been preserved. He left inscriptions on the buildings that also contained his full name: M. Martin Lange ZM . He was head of the carpentry trade in Quedlinburg and was therefore also involved in the construction of important city buildings.
The top stock threshold of his buildings he decorated often with flower tendrils. He also carved friezes of droplets in the filler wood. From 1690 onwards, instead of the flat, high ship throats that had been typical until then, he often used narrow chamfers. He often used St. Andrew's crosses , diamond crosses and half-man figures . Until 1688 he also used parapet struts. From 1695 he used store-high struts instead of the half man. His work depicts the development in the framework design of his time. The last known building to be preserved, the renovation of the house at Schmale Straße 24 , from 1702, does without an artistic facade design. Lange changed the handicraft coat of arms used here to the representation of ax and hook . He renounced the compass as a symbol of design activity. It is believed that this building could have been Lange's house.
Martin Lange probably moved from Quedlinburg at the beginning of the 18th century. His further fate is unknown.
