Philipp Zwerger

Philipp Zwerger († 1702 ) was a master mason in Munich .

Life

The son of master bricklayer Georg Zwerger († 1675) was a bricklayer's apprentice to Enrico Zuccalli from 1670 to 1673 . After his apprenticeship, he carried out work for Zuccalli. In 1677 he became a mason's trellis at the electoral court in Munich. In 1685 his son Philipp Jakob Zwerger was born. In 1692 he traveled in the wake of the bay. Elector Max Emanuel (governor of the Spanish Netherlands) to Brussels.

In 1699 Zwerger was Johann Georg Ettenhofer's best man . One of his daughters married the court mason trellis Balthasar Paur in 1699, a second in 1704 the court mason trellis Philipp Köglsperger .

Zwerger employed up to 14 journeymen in his company in Munich (1691), which in 1700 resulted in a complaint from the Munich bricklayers and carpenters against him because of his large business. In 1702 he was "ordained" (deputy) of the Munich masonry trade.
