Ainmiller

Ainmiller, MAX EMANUEL, glass-painter, was born at Munich in 1807. He began the study of architecture, but afterwards entered the royal porcelain manufacture as decorator; and it was here that he first succeeded in overcoming the technical difficulties in the execution of glass-painting. A separate institution was now established for the art; and Ainmiller became its director. Amongst his works have been windows for the cathedral of Ratisbon (1826-33), for the church of Mariahilf (1833-38) in Munich, for Cologne Cathedral (1844-48), and for Glasgow Cathedral. He died at Munich, 8th December 1870. His name is also spelt Ainmüller.
