Life

Hasemann's portal on the north side of the Gewandhaus

Balthasar Kircher , one of the most important stone sculptors in Braunschweig, had considered Hasemann in his will, which he withdrew because he survived the plague year of 1597 . In this will he bequeathed him the natural stones for a door panel for Heinrich Bühring and the 60 thalers that Bühring Kircher owed for the panel . Kircher worked temporarily again at Hasemann in 1621 when he was unemployed. We know that Hasemann had lived in a house at Gördelingerstrasse 20 since 1593 , had a dispute with the sculptor Barthold Fröler in 1609 and was buried in Martini's cemetery in Braunschweig. No more is known about Hasemann's life.

Hasemann worked in Hans Rust's stonemason workshop from 1580 to 1581 . When he opened his own workshop in 1584 after passing his master craftsman's examination, Balthasar Kircher , the stone sculptor of the Gewandhaus in Braunschweig , worked for him. As a master builder, Hasemann built the Pollsche house for Hilmar von Strombeck in Gördelingerstraße 43 in 1584 , the Hagenmarkt pharmacy in 1590 and the Brauner Hirsch house at Südklint 15 in 1593 . His stonemason's mark was struck in the Brauner Hirsch building . There were portals made of natural stone in all three buildings . The portal of the Hagen pharmacy by Wolter Hasemann was built into the north side of the Gewandhaus after the Second World War and that of the Pollschen house is on Bartholomäustwete. There is evidence that he carried out stone carvings from 1594 to 1612. He delivered stone furnace feet with the council coat of arms in 1600. He also worked on the Stobenbrücke, which was damaged by flooding, which was attested by an inscription in 1613.
