Life
Franz Löblich was already politically active and committed in his youth - in addition to his craft as a coppersmith. In 1848 he participated in the revolution in Dresden and in 1849/50 as a volunteer in the uprising against Denmark in Schleswig-Holstein. Franz Löblich used the economic boom of the founding period in Austria to expand his business, which had long remained a small coppersmith's business on a craft basis, and to expand it into a larger manufacture.
As a politician, Löblich was a councilor in Vienna, a member of the Lower Austrian state parliament and a member of the Imperial Council of the KuK monarchy .

Löblich lived at Sechsschimmelgasse 5.
A special achievement by Franz Löblich with lasting significance for today's ninth district of Vienna was the successful implementation of the choice of location for the construction of the Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof in 1872.

As the political representative of the tradespeople in the Lichtental / Alsergrund, the local council and member of the state parliament or later district chairman of Vienna, Franz Löblich, had a supraregional perspective and great advantages for the district in mind and the train station on the route leading to the richest provinces was to remain in place for many decades to stimulate the economy in the district.
The construction of the Nussdorfer Straße market hall, which opened in 1880, was also the result of an initiative by Franz Löblich - an impetus for the inner-city economic revival in the district that is still effective today for urban development.
