Hans Hautsch (born January 4, 1595 in Nuremberg , died January 31, 1670 Nuremberg) was a toolmaker, like his father, Antoni (1563-1627), and his grandfather, Kilian (-1570).He married Magdalena (born 1603) on June 25, 1621, the daughter of the carpenter Jacob Flexlein.
They had a daughter and five sons: Georg (1624, toolmaker), Gottfried (1634-1703), and Johann Andreas (1638).
Gottfried invented the conical ignition for pistols in 1702, making them three times as fast. In 1649, Hans Hautsch built a wheelchair lift for hospital patients.
Shortly thereafter, he built a four-wheeled clockwork-driven mechanical car, which allegedly drove 1.6 km/h by itself.
He delivered another triumphal car, which was specified to be driven by clockwork.
But in 1651 Georg Philipp Harsdörffer (also the French traveler Balthasar de Monconys in 1666) contradicted this in his Journal des Voyages, where he explained that a boy operated a crank inside.
