In the history of building, Johann Michael Fischer is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Johann Michael Fischer as German architect.
Johann Michael Fischer was born at Burglengenfeld in 1692. His recorded nationality is Germany.
Baroque and neoclassical building served courts, churches and states, and architecture became an instrument of display.
He is recorded as architect.
Among his best-known works are St. Elisabeth, St. Georg (Bogenhausen) and Zwiefalten Abbey. An architect is judged by how a building is used a century after the drawings.
That the work was built in Germany shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Johann Michael Fischer died in 1766, aged 74. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
