Corner house between Bognergasse, Irisgasse and Naglergasse (1902)

Schnizer was initially a representative of the late historical style common in Vienna . Its buildings were in neo-baroque or neo-renaissance forms. Towards the turn of the century he developed a personal, "old German" style (that is, oriented towards the Central European Renaissance), with which he set accents at some of Vienna's distinctive points. What is characteristic of Schnizer's buildings is the seemingly unintentional juxtaposition of building forms from different eras, which are intended to create the impression that the building is a historically evolved building. Large, tower-like corner bay windows on his houses create a special, picturesque impression.
