Sebastian Balthasar von Hößlin
Sebastian Andreas Balthasar von Hößlin (born October 5, 1759 in Augsburg ; † January 10, 1845 ibid) was an earthenware manufacturer and between 1806 and 1845 city architect for the city of Augsburg. With his direct involvement or influence, significant new buildings and conversions were made in Augsburg.
Life
Von Hößlin was the son of the shipowner Balthasar Christoph von Hößlin , consul in Venice, and his wife Maria Magdalena Wagner, who died in Augsburg in 1830 at the age of 97. His nephew was the banker Julius von Hößlin .
He grew up in Venice and returned as a young man to his parents' hometown in Augsburg. In 1787 he worked there as a court assessor and in 1788 as the registrar of the Augsburg municipal archive. In 1792 he married the 17 year old Louise Charlotte Friederike Freiin von Schnurbein and in 1793 their first daughter Rosina Elisabeth Louise was born. The couple had at least one other daughter, Rosina Jacobina Louise (1794–1847). At the age of 47, he was appointed to the office of urban building maintenance officer in 1806, the year of mediatization , and worked until he was 73. He had a major influence on the cityscape, which is still valid today despite extensive destruction in the Second World War .
During his tenure, significant structures were built or rebuilt, including a. Lazarett Augsburg 1810, Dompfarrhaus 1811, Evangelical Orphanage at Unteren Graben 1811, Wertachbrücke to Pfersee 1812/13, City Chancellery building 1813, Townhouse 1820, shop fitting on Barfüsserbrücke 1826, St. Ursula Monastery, St. Jakobs Pfründe, Classicist reconstruction of the Fugger Chapel , Group of houses and choir at the church of St. Anna 1830, Kath. Hl. Kreutz church, St. Katharinen monastery, old police building in the Philippine-Welser-Str., Barfüsser-Schule, Börse 1828/30, chapel on the Protestant cemetery together with Michael and August von Voit (renov. 1988), shop against the Fischergraben.
He founded a stoneware factory near Aystetten in 1807 , for which he was granted a concession in 1808, which was one of the oldest industrial companies in Bavaria and produced, among other things, utility ceramics and water pipes for the drinking water supply.
Hößlin managed his nephew Michael Voit, with whom he (traditionally) worked well, and in later years his son August von Voit , who later made the plans for the Neue Pinakothek in Munich and headed the Supreme Building Authority in Munich and thus successor to Leo from Klenze .
Three years after his retirement, the young Augsburg painter Johann Geyer created a portrait, probably on behalf of the city of Augsburg, showing Sebastian Andreas at the age of 76. Oil on canvas 108 × 90.5, signed 1835, (privately owned and in the holdings of the municipal art collections Augsburg.)
An entry at the Herkulesbrunnen in Augsburg recalls the creative power of Sebastian Andreas Baltasar von Hößlin.
