Johann Friedrich Nette (5 July 1673 — 9 December 1714) was a German architect of the Baroque epoch, trained in the Bohemian style.
Sternberg recommended Nette to his brother-in-law Georg Friedrich von Forstner, who happened to be a friend of and Hofmarschall to Eberhard Louis, Duke of Württemberg.
[1] Nette replaced the incumbent court architect Philipp Joseph Jenisch [de] in 1707,[2] and with that appointment was charged with the design and construction of a retreat for the Duke north of Stuttgart.
Nette began work on this residence, Ludwigsburg Palace, in 1707, though it was slow thanks to the still-ongoing War of the Spanish Succession.
Despite the war, Nette traveled to Prague in 1708 and 1709 to study Bohemian Baroque architecture and recruit artisans for Ludwigsburg.
