Johann Gottlieb Ohndorff

Johann Gottlieb Ohndorff (* 1702 in Freiberg ; †  December 29, 1773 there ) was a master carpenter and builder .

Life

Johann Gottlieb Ohndorff was born in Freiberg in 1702 and learned the carpentry trade from his father. Since 1728 he has been a citizen of Freiberg and carpenter; in 1740 he is called the mountain carpenter and since 1743 he acted as a council carpenter.

Ohndorff was one of the most important Baroque builders in Saxony outside the Dresden residence . The design idea of ​​the Protestant baroque gallery hall is adequately implemented by him in the sense of the central building ideas of this time. In his city churches, Ohndorff (first in Frankenberg in 1740/41) follows the Dreikönigskirche (Dreikönigskirche) in Dresden's Inner New Town, which goes back to George Bähr and Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann . The structure of the facade by the Freiberg master builder corresponds to the French-classicist ideas introduced in Saxony since around 1730 by Zacharias Longuelune and Johann Christoph Knöffel . Ohndorff worked very often with the carpenter and sculptor Johann Gottfried Stecher . On December 29, 1773, the builder died impoverished in Freiberg.
