1490
General view
The former property of the famous publisher Anton Koberger at Egidienplatz 9-13 no longer exists, but its centrepiece has survived the times, since it was brought to Wartburg Castle above Eisenach in the mid-19th century. It is a studiolo, i.e. according to the modern Renaissance concept, an intimate study room of the master of the house. It was commissioned in pure late Gothic formal vocabulary by Koberger around 1490. The work was thoroughly analysed in an article in the Wartburg-Jahrbuch 2016 (Regensburg 2017, Thomas Eissing and Sabrina Kraus: "Vom Pirckheimer Stübchen zum Koberger Schrankstübchen"). The studiolo is an independent construction in noble woods, in the form of a micro-castello, according to the final cornice with inlays as castle battlements. The carpentry work was carried out by Hans Straubinger, who was allowed to hire 3-4 additional journeymen for work on Anton Koberger's house by council resolution of 26.6.1490, when order permitted. The little room is open on the two narrow sides (window and metal door, which used to be connected to a corridor), and beyond that on the front long side. The entrance shows a narrow segmental arch under a keel-arched canopy with abundant overstaffing, crabs and crowning finials. A moulding at chest level bears inlays as a schematic woven fence. The panelling, subdivided into fields, shows blind friezes at the upper end. The same accompanies the interior walls below the imitation of a late Gothic net vault, which, like the rest of the construction, was quite elaborately carpentered. The originality of the vaulting style established in the above-mentioned publication could be compared with the somewhat younger wooden vault imitation of the Holy Sepulchre in the Marienkirche in Zwickau from 1507, which according to Dehio is a Nuremberg work.

It is a studiolo, i.e. according to the modern Renaissance concept, an intimate study room of the master of the house. It was commissioned in pure late Gothic formal vocabulary by Koberger around 1490. The work was thoroughly analysed in an article in the Wartburg-Jahrbuch 2016 (Regensburg 2017, Thomas Eissing and Sabrina Kraus: "Vom Pirckheimer Stübchen zum Koberger Schrankstübchen"). The studiolo is an independent construction in noble woods, in the form of a micro-castello, according to the final cornice with inlays as castle battlements. The carpentry work was carried out by Hans Straubinger, who was allowed to hire 3-4 additional journeymen for work on Anton Koberger's house by council resolution of 26.6.1490, when order permitted. The little room is open on the two narrow sides (window and metal door, which used to be connected to a corridor), and beyond that on the front long side. The entrance shows a narrow segmental arch under a keel-arched canopy with abundant overstaffing, crabs and crowning finials. A moulding at chest level bears inlays as a schematic woven fence. The panelling, subdivided into fields, shows blind friezes at the upper end. The same accompanies the interior walls below the imitation of a late Gothic net vault, which, like the rest of the construction, was quite elaborately carpentered. The originality of the vaulting style established in the above-mentioned publication could be compared with the somewhat younger wooden vault imitation of the Holy Sepulchre in the Marienkirche in Zwickau from 1507, which according to Dehio is a Nuremberg work.
