biography
He came to Vienna in 1831 and in 1832 invented a gloss wax for shoes and boots . He became very successful with this product and even counted the imperial court among his customers. For his services and because of the high quality of his products, he was appointed imperial and royal court supplier for shoe wax and leather paste .
The shoe paste even found its way into culture. The Viennese song composer Johann Sioly composed the couplet Beste Schuhwichse, Fernolendt , which the folk singer Wilhelm Wiesberg added to his program.
A Swabian eradication powder that he produced was banned in 1844 because it contained arsenic .
Franz Fernolendt was buried in the family vault at the Sankt Marxer Friedhof .
The company was located in the “Zur Impossible” building at Erdbergstrasse 34 in Vienna's third district, Landstrasse .
