Eduard Bertel (born January 28, 1856 in Prague , † May 28, 1923 in Vienna-Gersthof ) was an Austrian actor, draftsman and photographer.

Life

Eduard Bertel received his photography training from Gregor Baldi . In 1867 he opened his first studio in Salzburg , twenty years later he received the title of court. In 1904 he teamed up with Carl Pietzner and took over the management of a studio that had previously belonged to Friedrich Würthle junior. In 1907 Pietzner left this company; Bertel continued to operate it alone for some time.

Bertel mainly created portraits, but also composed crowd scenes with up to 500 heads. He also issued postcards. Bertel, who liked to take pictures under electric light, is one of the “electricity pioneers” in Salzburg alongside Karl Demel . Demel and Bertel were the first people from Salzburg to receive a permit to set up a power company. In 1887 the first central station was set up in Salzburg, from which direct current was fed into the line network. In 1898 he was awarded the Donat Cross II class of the sovereign Order of Malta.

In 1914 he gave up the profession of photographer and moved to Vienna .

Eduard Bertel had offspring. One of his daughters, Annemarie, was born in Salzburg on December 31, 1896, married Erwin Schrödinger in 1920 and died in 1965.
