Life
Buchwieser attended the foremen's school after completing elementary and community school. In 1911 he passed the master builder examination and received the associated license. He was wounded in the First World War .
In the inter-war period, despite the difficult economic situation, he repeatedly managed to get orders. These were mainly from the Catholic Church . He planned and built numerous churches, religious hospitals and convent buildings, such as the Church of the Carmelites in Vienna. Buchwieser also worked abroad, for example in Hungary , Switzerland and the Netherlands .
After the “ Anschluss ” in 1938, he joined the NSDAP in order to receive orders. He was approved as an expert for the German Reichsfront for the execution of high-rise buildings and as an expert for appraisals for urban property.
In 1945 his company was commissioned to repair St. Stephen's Cathedral .

His sacred buildings were, although the time of historicism was already over, carried out in the basic features of medieval buildings, as they still preferred the official church.
