Johann Balthasar Lauterbach

Johann Balthasar Lauterbach (20 May 1663, Ulm - 20 April 1694, Wolfenbüttel) was a German mathematician, architect and master builder at the Court in Braunschweig, from 1688 until his death.

In 1687, Anthony Ulrich, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, assigned him to the Rudolph-Antoniana, a Ritterakademie in Wolfenbüttel, where he taught mathematics and architecture.

Two years later, he was appointed Master Builder, in charge of a new princely Building Authority, assisted by Hermann Korb.

Korb succeeded him as Master Builder and Leonhard Christoph Sturm [de] took his place at the Ritterakademie.

His treatise, Compendium Architecturae Civilis Harmonicae Antiquae et Novae, was published posthumously in Amsterdam in 1698.
