(1) Hans Weiditz (i)
(b ?Strasbourg, ?c. 1475; d Strasbourg, ?1516). Sculptor. He was probably trained in his father’s workshop but he worked as a master in Freiburg im Breisgau between 1497 and 1514. Until 1508 he is described as a Bildhower (sculptor) in the lists of the painters’ guild. The parish account books for 1510 record a payment for carved wooden rosettes for keystones in the chancel of Freiburg Cathedral (originals now Freiburg im Breisgau, Augustinmus.). Between 1512 and 1516 he probably worked on the carved sections (vinescroll decoration and predella) of both the high altarpiece and the Schnewlin altarpiece (c. 1514–15) in the cathedral, in collaboration with the painter HANS BALDUNG. After 1515 he probably returned to Strasbourg.
