Peter Pusika

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Pusika (also Peter von Pusica ) (* probably around 1400 near Lublin , Poland ; † 1475 in Wiener Neustadt ) was a builder and stonemason of Polish origin who worked in Eastern Austria. The nickname Pusikas is derived from the place of birth near the Polish city of Lublin. As an alternative to Pusica, Poschickh, Pusicka and Musica are also mentioned, the correct form is probably Potyka.

Pusika received his training probably in Prague and Vienna and came to Wiener Neustadt around 1439, where he was in the service of Friedrich III. - from 1440 Roman-German King and from 1452 Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire - stood. From 1440 he expanded Wiener Neustadt as his residence and brought in artists such as Peter von Pusica, Jakob Kaschauer and Niclas Gerhaert van Leyden . Around 1450, Pusika was named as the builder of 32 buildings and was chairman of 32 stonemasons and architects during Friedrich's reign.

From 1440 to 1460 he built the St. George's Cathedral in Wiener Neustadt. The coat of arms on the east wall facing the courtyard was also built by him. The Radegundis Church in Katzelsdorf was probably built by Pusika between 1442 and 1462. The church of St. Peter an der Sperr , built in the 13th century and handed over to the Dominicans in 1444 , was extensively redesigned by Pusika around 1456/57. The Dominican convent was rebuilt in the third quarter of the 14th century after a fire and extensively renovated from 1450 to 1475 by Peter von Pusika. The Wiener Neustädter Stiftskirche (also Neuklosterkirche ) was also rebuilt by Pusika.
