Eugen Sehnal
Eugen Sehnal (born December 22, 1851 in Kufstein ; † September 12, 1910 in Vienna ) was an Austrian builder and architect.
Life
Eugen Sehnal, the son of a Tyrolean police doctor, already spent his school days in Vienna. In Schottenfeld he attended high school. From 1869 to 1873 he was a student of Heinrich Ferstel and Karl König at the Technical University .
One of his first commissions was the Protestant church in Mödling . During his creative time there was an increased need for public buildings due to the industrialization in the area of Vienna and Lower Austria, so that this was also one of the main areas of activity for him. Some hospitals, schools and government buildings are based on his work. Ultimately, he was also given the position of building appraiser in the Obersthofmarschallamt .
Sehnal suffered a stroke at the Vienna Südbahnhof at the age of 59 , from the consequences of which he ultimately died. He was married and had four children.
