Son of Heinrich. ∞ I) 1485 Barbara († beginning of May 1521), daughter of Hans Schatzer, Nestler, at least four sons and one daughter; II) Barbara, daughter of Nicolaus Geßner, at least one daughter Magdalena. Apprenticeship presumably in the workshop of his father or stepfather Michael Walther.

In 1495 he became the city glazier, a post he held until his death. In this capacity he carried out glass work on the town hall, the towers, the town houses, Schwarzenbruck and Hiltpoltstein in 1503/04. Designs by Albrecht Dürer, Hans Baldung Grien, Hans von Kulmbach, among others, were executed in his workshop; it evidently held a kind of monopoly position in the awarding of the most lucrative commissions, which testifies to an enormous capacity.
