Nickel Hoffmann

Nickel Hoffmann (also known as Nikolaus Hofmann, 1536 – 1592) was a German stonemason, sculptor, craftsman, and builder of the Great Masters in the later part of the Gothic Art movement and the Renaissance in central Germany.

It is thought that he, with Jakob Hans from the now Czech city of Chomutov as polishing, took over construction management in 1545.

In addition, he ran well on his own, with a sculpture in the woman cemetery and delivered a considerable amount of goods for the construction of the church.

In the years 1563-1569 he was able to switch from Paul Widemann the contract for the construction of the choir of St. Mary at Zwickau secure along with his brother Philipp Hoffmann.

This was his main work on the room grouping, façade and detail processing and deemed a feat of German Renaissance art.
