Peter Carl (builder)
Peter Carl (l) (* 1541 in Hellingen ; † February 12, 1617 in Sandhofen near Worms ) was a German builder and carpenter.
Life
Carl learned his trade from his father and then went on the roll to expand his knowledge with other masters. He came u. a. also to Nuremberg , where he later settled and also married. The future architect Hanns Carl is his son.
In 1580 Carl advanced to the city of Nuremberg's builder for life, but with the approval of the Nuremberg Council he often worked for other clients. In 1585 he designed and built the stamping mill of the Zur Eule mine in Bohemia . From 1593 Margrave Georg Friedrich I. Carl engaged for a number of projects. Under the direction of council builder Wolf Jacob Stromer , between 1596 and 1598, together with the stonemason Jakob Wolff , Carl built his most famous work, the Fleischbrücke in Nuremberg, which is based on the Rialto Bridge in Venice . In Nuremberg he also built the roof structure for the Pellerhaus and the new foundation for the Heilig-Geist-Kirche.
This was then the recommendation of the Palatinate governor Prince Christian I to bring him to the royal seat of Amberg in 1601 . Carl was involved in the construction of the palace there until 1603. In 1616, Elector Friedrich V. Carl engaged and commissioned him with the renovation work on Heidelberg Castle . During this work, Carl should also work with the engineer Salomon de Caus , who had been entrusted with the planning and execution of the Palatinate garden . Nothing came of this collaboration, as Carl died at the beginning of the following year.
