Johann Friedrich Endersch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Johann Friedrich Endersch (Polish: Jan Fryderyk Endersch; 25 October 1705 – 1769) was a German cartographer and mathematician.
Endersch was born in Dörnfeld in Thuringia and lived most of his life in Elbląg (Elbing), Royal Prussia, Poland). In 1755 he completed for Prince-Bishop Adam Stanisław Grabowski a map of Warmia titled "Tabula Geographica Episcopatum Warmiensem In Prussia Exhibens". The map, which detailed the towns of Warmia, was commissioned for the court of the Holy Roman Emperor, Francis I.
Endersch also held the title of Royal Mathematician from Augustus III of Poland.
Endersch made a copper etching depicting a galley or sailing ship, which had been built in Elbing in 1738 and was named Die Stadt Elbing (German for "The City of Elbląg").
