KITTEL, JOHANN (Germ.). Medallist of Breslau, born at Namslau in 1656, died on the 25. November 1740. The earliest medals on which his monogram appears (K. or I. K.; are dated 1681, and from that date until his death he executed numerous medals commemorating events in Saxon history as well as personal medals. I could only find descriptions of the following : Bombardment of Belgrade, 1688 ; — Religious Medals (for Christening, Marriage, etc. ceremonies ; also commemorative of Peace festivities) ; — Johann Hartwig, Count of Nostitz; — Medal of 1690, with busts of Leopold, Joseph, and the Empress ; — Siege of Vienna, 1683 (Al. Medal) ; — Peace of Ryswick, 1697 ; — Undated Thaler, with bust of Frederick II. ; — Death of Caspar Neumann, 171 5 ; — Coronation of Frederick I. King of Prussia, 1701 ; — Times of Distress, 1702 (2 var.); — — Alms Medal, 1704; — Accession of Joseph I., 1705; — Satirical Medal on the New Century, 1700 ; — Battle of Ramillies and Relief of Barcelona, 1706; — Capture of Naples, 1707; — End of the Plague at Breslau, 1714 (2 var.); — Baptism of Archduke Leopold, 1716 ; — Trial of the Coining-Press invented by Daniel Cracau, 1717; — Coronation of Charles VI., 1723; — Inauguration of the Evangelical Church at Gross- Wartenberg, 1736 ; — Water Famine (2 var.) ; — Queen Elizabeth Christina of Prussia; — Coronation of Charles VI., 1711 ; — Memorial Medal of Leopold I. ; — Siege of Azow. 1696; — Peace of Carlowitz, 1696; — Coronation Jeton of Catherine I., &c. It is however somewhat doubtful whether the Russian medals signed I. K. are by Kittel. Bibliography. — As above.
