Artiste peintre, dessinateur, graveur à Strasbourg. Hérite de ses
parents à Pfullendorf en 1580. Bourgeois de Strasbourg par sa femme le 20.2.1571
(AMstr, bourgeoisie II, 348). Tribu de l'Echasse.
In 1575 he painted frescoes on the facade of the Brüderhof (destr. 1769).
he was at Hagenau in 1583 and at Oberkirch in 1589. Also in 1589, he worked on
the decoration of the Neu Bau (Chambre de Commerce) in Strasbourg. Dietterlin's
only authenticated easel painting is the signed and dated "Raising of Lazarus"
(?1582 or ?1587, Karlsruhe, Staatliche Kunsthalle) which has the characteristics
of northern Mannerism. After 1590 he painted the ceiling of the upper room of
the Lusthaus in Stuttgart (dest.).
Of the several 17th-century volumes in the Bernd collection, Wendel Dietterlin's
Architectura, published in Nuremberg in 1598 is one of the most striking. With
approximately 200 plates of Dietterlin's designs in the strapwork grotesque style
for windows, chimneypieces, doors, fountains and monuments, this volume served
as a source of inspiration not only for designers in the 17th century, but the
19th as well.
He died in 1599 in deep weakness. He was married to Catharin SPREUER on 12 Nov
1570 in Strasbourg.
