Ferdinand Dehm (born August 27, 1846 in Vienna ; † March 26, 1923 there ) was an Austrian architect and court architect as well as a liberal politician.

biography

Ferdinand Dehm received his training from various masters, such as the court architect Oelzelt and Ludwig Tischler from the Wiener Bau-Gesellschaft . In 1873 he received the town architect license and went into business for himself together with Franz Olbricht . The company was very successful and constructed a large number of public and private buildings. As an entrepreneur, Dehm bought land in Vienna, built houses on them and then sold them on.

From 1886 to 1895 Dehm held the office of a member of the municipal council for the 9th district as a liberal , from 1892 he was also a member of the Lower Austrian state parliament . After his partner Olbricht could no longer work in the joint company for health reasons, Dehm also withdrew and devoted himself exclusively to his political functions. He worked in various construction departments, advocated the creation of large traffic facilities and the incorporation of the suburbs into Vienna. He was also involved in humanitarian activities in the field of children's hospitals and non-profit associations. Dehm died a distinguished man and was buried in a magnificent tomb in the Weidlinger cemetery .

Ferdinand Dehm received the Franz Joseph Order in 1891 and the Ottoman Mecidiye Order in 1900 . In 1898 he became a building officer and was also chief curator of the Erste Österreichische Spar-Casse , deputy head of the Karolinen- , St. Annen- and Leopoldstädter Children's Hospital , vice-president of the Viennese construction company, vice-president and, after the death of founder Kühn, president of the first Viennese people's kitchen association.

meaning

Ferdinand Dehm built almost exclusively together with Franz Olbricht. Their buildings corresponded to historicism , with the initially stricter Renaissance forms gradually giving way to the more decorative neo-baroque. After Otto Wagner's appearance , his design principles were also adopted and from then on neo-baroque buildings with secessionist motifs were built (so-called Viennese Modern School ).
