Peter Hemmel of Andlau

Peter Hemmel of Andlau (c. 1420–1506) was a late Gothic stained glass artist, whose workshop in Strasbourg was active between 1447 and 1501.

Sometimes working alone and sometimes in collaboration with other stained-glass artists in the city, it mainly supplied religious buildings in what is now Austria, southern and eastern Germany, eastern France and northern Italy, though none of Hemmel's windows survive in Andlau itself.

Hemmel was born in Andlau, now in the Bas-Rhin region of France, but became a citizen of Strasbourg as well as a landowner and counsellor.

Hemmel used templates drawing on the work of Rogier van der Weyden and Martin Schongauer.

He is also notable for his attention to details, such as in animals and plants, as seen in the Guilds Window in Ulm Minster.
