Arnold Heymann

Arnold Heymann (born October 9, 1870 in Graz , † October 6, 1950 in Vienna ) was an Austrian architect .

Life

Arnold Heymann was the son of the architect and town builder of the same name, Arnold Heymann. Although he was born in Graz, he grew up in Vienna. Here he attended the higher state trade school in the direction of construction and graduated in 1891 with the Matura . In 1893 he began studying at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna with Victor Luntz ; but since he could not pay the school fees, he was expelled from the academy after two semesters. From around 1895 Heymann was self-employed, at the beginning together with Josef Beer, who had been his classmate. Up until the First World War he was constantly involved in construction work, and in some cases he or his wife also acted as the client. After the war, no more buildings by Heymann can be proven.

Arnold Heymann married Rosa Klein in 1899, with whom he had two children. His son was also called Arnold Heymann and was an interior designer. Heymann died at the age of 80 and was buried in Vienna's central cemetery.

Arnold Heymann was active in the style of late historicism . His early buildings up to around 1900 were preferably designed in the old German style, after which he turned to the neo-baroque , which is regarded as the Austrian national style . The less representative buildings in particular could also contain secessionist elements. During his last building contracts, when the neo-baroque was no longer modern, he increasingly turned to neoclassical design. Heymann's buildings are distinguished by their rich decor; some buildings even achieve a pronounced plasticity. Heymann was mainly active in residential construction. He also built numerous villas and was a specialist in hotel construction.
