Anton Teutenberg
Ferdinand Anton Nicolaus Teutenberg (4 December 1840 – 2 October 1933) was a New Zealand stonemason, carver, engraver, medallist and jeweller.[1] He was born in Hüsten, Germany, in 1840.[2][3][4][5] Teutenberg was the son of a gunsmith, who worked for Frederick William IV of Prussia. Teutenberg was taught masonry and carving techniques by his father.[6]
When Teutenberg visited New Zealand in 1866, he worked on carvings that became part of the Auckland High Court and Pitt Street Methodist Church, after a chance meeting with architects Amos and Taylor.[6]
