Career
Pilgram is known as the sculptor of the portal of Old City Hall in Brno and craftsman of the pulpit in Saint Stephen"s Cathedral, Vienna. He spent a major part of his life in Brno, Moravia. He was probably trained in Vienna, and following that, in 1481, he was invited to Heilbronn.
His earliest work was a chancel at the Street Kilian Church in Heilbronn.
However, research by Kaliopi Chamonikola, 2004, disputes the attribution of the design of the chancel to Pilgram. He created his early architectural works mainly in Swabia, Germany.
He participated in the building of the Saint George Church in Schwieberdingen and Street Lawrence Chapel in Rottweil. During his stay in Swabia, he became familiar with the works of Italian and German Renaissance artists.
In 1512 Pilgram became a cathedral builder of the Street Stephen"s Cathedral in Vienna.
There he concentrated mainly on smaller architectonic forms, such as the cathedral pulpit (built from 1514 to 1515) and various relief sculptures. Pilgram probably died in Vienna around 1516.
