DÜRR, ERNST KASPAR (Germ.). Die-sinker, and Medallist, residing at Dresden, 1670 to 1680, Zerbst, 1683 to 1692, and later at Stettin and Riga. He executed a number of medals commemorating events connected with the ducal house of Saxony, and in conjunction with his pupil, Martin Heinrich Omeis, he engraved a fine portrait-piece of Duke Augustus, with a view of Weissenfels Castle on R. The Duke paid 100 Reichsthalers for this medal. Dürr was employed as Coin-engraver at Dresden, in succession to Constantin Rothe. His signature E. C.

Some of these bear both Dürr and Omeis's signatures. Dürr seems to have been Mint-master at Diez in 1683. Vide OMEIS. Bibliography. — Bolzenthal, op. cit. — Schlickeysen-Palmann, op. cit.
