Nuglisch took a trip to France and Italy in 1697. He specialized in war and civil architecture. He served in the pioneer company and had the rank of lieutenant on his return. Friedrich I had it used both in the construction of the Berlin Palace and in the buildings in Charlottenburg and Potsdam . Under the supervision of the architect Johann Friedrich Eosander von Göthe , for example, in 1704 he built a canal connection that should enable a ship route from Schönhausen Palace to Berlin. From 1706 to 1709 he was busy building the Favorite (small pleasure house) and the orangery at Oranienburg Castle and from 1708 to 1712 he was in charge of building extensions to the three-winged Altlandsberg Castle, which no longer exists .

Shortly before his death, he was raised to the rank of chief engineer.

family

Nuglisch belonged to a family of court officials, so on December 18, 1719 King Friedrich Wilhelm I commissioned the master builder Carl Nuglisch († 1758) with the construction of a new salt works in Halle, which was completed in 1721. The members of the family seem to have been encouraged by the Elector of Brandenburg, the Great Elector sent Frederick William of Brandenburg born in Potsdam Friedrich Christian Nuglisch (son of George Nuglisch) on electoral costs in 1681 for three years to Hendrick Fromantiou in the Training to learn Dutch painting. He later made paintings of Neptune and Ceres on their carriages. Georg [e] Nuglisch († 1680) was the first castellan who served under the Great Elector in Potsdam Palace , he is the progenitor of a family of officials. Two of his sons have become construction directors. The brothers Carl and Philipp Wilhelm worked as royal civil engineers on the palace buildings and other construction projects in the Mark Brandenburg. Both of them worked as conductors in Oranienburg, for example . Carl went to Magdeburg as a master builder . From 1728 he was the building director in the Kurmärkische Kammer.

Nuglisch had been married to Louisa Dorothea since 1713, the daughter of the Swedish-German personal doctor of Elector Gustav Casimir Gahrliep von der Mühlen (1630-1717).
