Carl Hagenauer
Carl Hagenauer (born July 30, 1871 , † August 19, 1928 in Vienna ) was an Austrian craftsman .
Hagenauer completed his apprenticeship as a chaser and belt maker at the Viennese gold and silversmith company Würbel & Czokally. He then worked as a journeyman with the master goldsmith Samu Bernauer in Preßburg. After taking the master craftsman's examination as a chaser and master belt maker, he founded his own workshop in Vienna in 1898.
Hagenauer's company produced so-called " Viennese bronzes " (candelabra, ornamental grids, fittings etc.) as well as casts of small sculptures by old masters based on their own and third-party designs . Stylistically, Hagenauer's production was initially committed to historicism , then to the curved, floral Art Nouveau ; after 1910, metal goods were increasingly produced in the stricter Viennese secession style according to more reserved designs by Josef Hoffmann , Otto Prutscher and others. The company was represented at numerous exhibitions, for example in Paris, London and Berlin, and was awarded prizes. Hagenauer's workshop was successfully continued by the sons Karl (1898–1956) and Franz Hagenauer (1906–1986), the grandson Karl Hagenauer jr. also joined the company. He was buried at the Vienna Central Cemetery .
