Giengen an der Brenz, marks of Johann Daniel I Albrecht, around 1750.

Numerous works by Johann Daniel Albrecht have survived. For example, his workshop produced the goblet of the Giengen grocers' guild as well as that of the coopers' guild in Schorndorf. It is interesting to note that the goblet of the Stuttgart coopers' guild bears his maker's mark, meaning that he was given presidence over the goldsmiths of the residential city.
With regard to works for the church, a chalice for the Evangelical parish of Hürben, a baptismal font from 1751 and a chalice and patene dated 1757 for the Evangelical parish of Giengen have also survived.
