Felix Angelo Pollak
Felix Angelo Pollak (born June 2, 1882 in Baden near Vienna , † September 15, 1936 in Vienna) was an Austrian architect.
Life
Felix Angelo Pollak came from a Jewish family. To her belonged his parents Samuel Pollak († 1905) and Emma Bellina Pollenz (* 1853) and the younger brother Carl Josef Pollak, who later became a painter. Felix Pollak attended a secondary school in Vienna. From 1901 to 1903 he studied architecture at the Technical University in Vienna and graduated from the Technical University in Graz in 1911 . In 1914 he went to the front as a volunteer. He served as a first lieutenant and received several awards. At the same time he taught at the Theresian Military Academy in Wiener Neustadt . Despite his Jewish origins, he converted to Catholicism, which also earned him many assignments. Among other things, he built a six-storey school and nurses' home in 1930/31 as an extension to the monastery of the servants of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Vienna. This collaboration earned him the nickname Herz-Jesu-Pollak . Pollak was with Josefine, geb. Frieberg, married until they divorced in 1926. He stayed in England in the 1930s. He died in 1936 of calcification of the arteries.
