Dominikus Zimmermann (June 30, 1685, Gaispoint–November 16, 1766, Wies) was a German Rococo architect and stuccoist.
[edit] Life
He was born in Gaispoint near Wessobrunn in 1685. Like his older brother Johann Baptist Zimmermann, also an architect and stuccoist, Dominikus Zimmermann descended from a family of artists and craftsmen belonging to the so-called Wessobrunner School, working first as a stuccoist and later as a master builder and architect. He lived in Landsberg am Lech, where he was mayor between 1748-1753. He died near the pilgrims' church in Wies near Steingaden in 1766.
