Konrad Gobel

During the 16th century, the arts and trades blossomed in Frankfurt and in 1528 Konrad Gobel became the leader of the journeyman's association of the town.

Gobel's workshop produced several unique bells for churches in the cities and towns around Frankfurt.

His bells are distinguished by the attachment of medallions, ancient coins, and poured metal casts of cut stones.

In 1545 Gobel created a small bronze plaque for the coffin of Prince-Elector Albrecht of Brandenburg, the Archbishop of Mainz.

He also created the magnificent chandeliers for the West Choir of the Mainz Cathedral, which today no longer exists.
