Last weekend we took part in the nationwide "Day of the Open Pottery: I had organized a lecture.
today released a Follow-up to "distinguished visitor found himself in the nationwide .. 5th day of the open pottery in the ceramics workshop of Katharina Heusinger and Martin Waubke" on spec ", type: Dr. Werner Endres, ceramics expert, and known throughout Germany the program "Art and Krempl" observations on the various exhibits from the estate of the former Hafnerei Echinger in Steinach position.
Previously, the local historian Hans Steinacher Agsteiner spoke on the Hafner-craft and ceramics on significant discoveries in the town of Steinach. In detail, he reported on the ceramic "The Last Supper" that is Jacob Echinger, the last Hafner Steinach attributed. Agsteiner attracted the interest of visitors to many similarities of the "Last Supper" by Echinger with classical carving "The Last Supper" at the high altar in the monastery church of the Azlburg Straubinger artist Franz Xaver cellar. Echinger doubt Jacob was aware of that representation. is also interesting that Stein-ach end of the 19th Hafner century a center was a Hafnergasse and ten potteries. Jakob Echinger was the last of his guild, and thanks to the great importance of the ceramic tableware probably very wealthy. Short Agsteiner went to significant discoveries in 1997 to a waste pit discovered by chance at the former inn crown. Here it were two restored, medieval vessels from the second half of the 13th Century, which were from the district archaeologist Dr. Ludwig Husty recently handed over to the municipality of Steinach and have found a place in Steinacher City Hall. An introduction to the history of harness Kröninger was master potter Martin Waubke. These ceramics from Kroening, an area between Landshut and Dingolfing Vilsbiburg had a certain resemblance to the pottery of Hafnerei Echinger said Waubke. The families Echinger and Simmel had brought some pottery from the workshop to their ancestor Jacob Echinger determination. Especially liked
a small altar with movable tabernacle, which could play the grandchildren. Evidence of authorship of pottery from the Workshop Eching, was even in taking ownership by heirs, however, difficult to lead today, said Dr. Werner Endres. Very unfortunate it was that there were no written records to the work and functioning of Hafner and very much more is missing. Basis of the pottery in the town of Steinach were certainly the rich sound and clay deposits, the name "On the spectrum of" tends to suggest. Ceramic dish was until the invention of iron pots in bulk lot of manufactures and in the wider region sold in the country was. Certainly, however, a hanging basket came with finely worked surface and a small one. bright blue glazed Holy water font by Jakob Echinger said Endres. been with the blue glaze is the used brown clay from Eching workshop "weggeleugnet." Despite the initials JE on a saint and a watch stand ceramic doubt as to the origin of the workshop Eching, "said Endres. He told of the mass production of pottery to into the 19th century, told of the pottery goods on trains and huge towing specially made "Kreinzerwagen 'and the technique of firing and glazing. With his seemingly inexhaustible knowledge about Hafnerei and ceramic Endres struck the audience in his Spell and stood all the questions.
