Life

Thirty Mark was the son of the silk embroiderer and pearl stapler Christian Thirty Mark from Sorau and the grandson of the lawyer David Dreyigmarck, born around 1570 in Świebodzin . Before 1674 he married his wife Susanna. Two of his daughters were born in Halle (Saale) in 1674 and 1676 . From 1680 four child births are recorded in the Margarethenkirche in Gotha , whereby he is not only listed as a sculptor, but also as a "princely cammer servant".

Well-known preserved works are the Baroque pulpit for the Sankt-Johannis-Baptista-Kirche in Schönebeck (Elbe), designed around 1676 during his time in Halle . In Gotha he works on the design of the Friedenstein and Friedrichswert palaces. The magnificent royal box in the Augustinian Church in Gotha is his work. The organ prospectus also comes from him after a contract with the consistory from 1693. Dismissed on June 3, 1707 in Gotha, he was appointed chief architect in Erfurt just a few days later. He is responsible for the civil and military buildings and works as a builder in the construction of the Lieutenancy (now the government building). On May 18, 1713, he was buried in the governor's Catholic court church in St. Wigbert.

His brother Johann Anton Drei 30mark ran a carving workshop in Bad Muskau , where the carved pulpit of the Protestant Johanneskirche in Kahren (Cottbus) was built around 1706 . A second brother, Amandus 30 marks, was a painter. All that is known about him is that he married in Görlitz in 1675 and received support from 30 Kreuzers from the Egidius Arnold Foundation in Nuremberg in 1687.
