Life

Fröstl had only been a member of the municipal council since 1885 , when he was surprisingly elected mayor in 1888. The reason for his choice was, besides his popularity among the population, his promise to reorganize the local government. In 1890 he was appointed to the Lower Austrian state parliament . During his tenure, the two St. Pölten barracks were built, the grounds for the planned construction of the St. Pölten hospital were acquired, and the reforestation of the Kaiserwald began .
