Hans Daucher

Hans Daucher (1486, Augsburg – 1538, Stuttgart) was a German Renaissance wood carver, sculptor and medal designer.

Either Hans or Adolf produced the altarpiece weighing 370 talents which has been on the high altar of the Evangelical Lutheran St. Annenkirche in Annaberg-Buchholz, though it was long thought to be a collaboration between them.

The Solhofen limestone sculptures were surrounded by a framework made up of ten different types of Italian marble.

Hans is also known to have worked independently on the Fugger Chapel in the same church after 1512 – its central Corpus Christi and Lamentation of Christ groups, the putti on the marble balustrade in front of the chapel and the choir stalls are his work.

Schindler considers the marble monument to the nobles of Hürnheim in Hochaltingen to be Daucher's masterpiece.
