Anreith (1754-1822) came from Riegel, Germany. He had to flee his home country and joined the VOC, arriving at the Cape in 1777. He performed menial tasks until 1786 when his talents were recognised by the Company and he was appointed Master Sculptor. Working closely with the architect Louis Thibault, Anreith proceeded to create a number of the most beautiful buildings and structures in the Cape. He died without family and in near poverty in his house in Bloem Street. His legacy to the Cape includes the Kat Balcony at the Castle, aspects of Groot Constantia and the Customs House.
