Franz Ludwig Wind (born 14 November 1719 – 25 August 1789) was a Swiss sculptor and wood carver.




Life



Franz Ludwig Wind was born on 14 November 1719 in Kaiserstuhl, Switzerland. His father was Anton Wind from Reutte in Tyrol. Between 1735 and 1741 he probably completed as apprenticeship as a sculptor in Tyrol.
On 21 August 1749 he applied for the citizenship of his home village of Kaiserstuhl. In 1755, Wind made two urns for the garden wall and ten grimaces for the windows of the Meisen guild house in Zürich.
His main work was the decorative elements and grimaces of the Marschallhof in Kaiserstuhl from 1764, which were knocked off in the 19th century.
In 1773 he designed the façade of the provost's office in Zurzach. The portal of Schloss Schwarzwasserstelz from 1776 is also attributed to Wind.
