Biography

Johann Moritz Richter (1620–1667) was a German architect and engraver.
Richter was born in Weimar. In the position of "fürstlich-sächsischer Landbaumeister" (court architect), he designed the oldest extant bridge in Weimar, the Sternbrücke (de), built from 1651 to 1654 crossing the Ilm river. It is part of the Park an der Ilm. He designed the Schloss in Weimar which was destroyed by fire in 1774.
Richter participated in building Schloss Moritzburg in Zeitz and Schloss Neu-Augustusburg in Weißenfels. His son continued his work on these buildings after his death. He is buried on the Jacobsfriedhof.
