The Neuroni family

Around 1290 the ancestors of the family lived in Riva San Vitale and moved to nearby Lugano in the 14th century . The brothers Peter Niuron (* 1541 in Lugano ; † 1618 in Dessau ) and Bernhard Niuron († around 1608 in Brieg ) and their cousin Franz Niuron († around 1616 in Zerbst ) began their activities probably around 1550 in the German-speaking area within the Italian artist colony of Brieg in the Duchy of Brieg . The castle of the Dukes of Oels in Oels is considered the best preserved building by Bernhard Niuron. Peter Niuron worked in parallel in Anhalt and in Berlin, for example on the Berlin Palace.

The Niurons worked as early building contractors who, as architects, produced the design and, as entrepreneurs, also took over all the other phases of the implementation of a building contract (“turnkey”).

The pioneer for the Niurons in Brandenburg , Dresden and the Principality of Anhalt was probably the Italian fortress builder Rocco Guerrini di Linari , who, after working in Dresden and Dessau, was best known for the Spandau Citadel and the Peitz Fortress .
