Philipp Joseph Jenisch (* 1671 in Marbach am Neckar ; † June 20, 1736 in Blaubeuren ) was a German architect and builder.

Life

At the age of 18 Jenisch began in 1689 as a scholarship holder of the Evangelical monastery at the University of Tübingen, the master's degree, which was followed by the study of theology. Ten years later, Jenisch - generously supported by Duke Eberhard Ludwig - began to study mathematics at the University of Altdorf . After successfully completing his degree, Jenisch went to Italy, supported by the Württemberg court, to complete his architectural studies there.

In 1703 Jenisch returned to Germany and settled in Stuttgart . When he delivered the design for the prince's building at Erlachhof, which later became the residential palace in Ludwigsburg , the following year , he was personally appointed agricultural director by the duke . Later he was appointed professor at the Stuttgart grammar school.

The beginning of the Ludwigsburg residence was a small castle, the foundation stone of which was laid on May 7, 1704. Duke Eberhard Ludwig himself determined the name Ludwigsburg on May 11, 1705 . Jenisch was only responsible for the ground floor of the main building. In 1707 he ceded responsibility to his colleague Johann Friedrich Nette , who was responsible for the construction period as the lead architect until his death on December 9, 1714. He in turn was followed by Donato Giuseppe Frisoni after in office.

Between 1705 and 1714, under Jenisch's direction, a large-scale barracks was built, which was used as an orphanage after construction was completed.

In 1727 Jenisch resigned from all his offices and transferred to the Protestant monastery of Blaubeuren . Jenisch devoted his last years there - in addition to his mathematical studies - to the management of the monastery and the monastery school as abbot . As such, he died on June 30, 1736 at the age of about 65.
