Stucco work by Johann Baptist Modler around 1740 - 1750 on the Apothecary's House, the Wörndle House and the Shipmaster's House on the market square in Obernberg am Inn.
Johann Baptist Modler was born in Hohenfels on 20 February 1702. The youngest son of a clothmaker, he learnt his father's trade and then went travelling. Modler came to Obernberg as a travelling journeyman, where he entered the service of the clothmaker Josef Groll, whose daughter he married. She gave him three sons: Johann Kasper Joseph, Melchior Georg Joseph and Franz Josef Balthasar, whom they named after the Three Wise Men.
In 1736, the Modler family moved to Kößlarn, where Modler set up his own workshop. They named their daughters born in Kößlarn Fides, Spes and Caritas (Faith, Hope, Love). His wife, who bore him a total of 11 children, ran a smithy there. Four sons supported their father in his family business. Modler, who had learnt the art of plastering from the Austrian Franz Josef Holzinger (1691 - 1775), died in 1774.
