Friedrich Schachner (born December 14, 1841 in Atzenbrugg near Tulln , Lower Austria ; † November 7, 1907 in Vienna ) was an Austrian architect of historicism .
Life
Schachner's father was administrator of the monastery of Atzenbrugg and later district chairman of the Mödling district . Schachner studied first at the Technical University of Vienna , then at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna with Eduard van der Nüll and August Siccard von Siccardsburg , the architects of the court opera . He worked in the studio of Johann Romano and August Schwendenwein , who built numerous city palaces, and studied the Renaissance on several trips to Italy. From 1866 until his death Schachner worked as a busy independent architect in Vienna.
Like his teachers, Schachner initially cultivated the neo-renaissance style . Schachner's largest project, the highly controversial, unrealized design for the Kaiser Franz Joseph City Museum (1901–02 in competition with Otto Wagner ), however, took on neo-baroque forms. The corresponding variant of late historicism was preferred by the heir to the throne Franz Ferdinand and propagated as the "imperial style" of the Habsburg monarchy.
Schachner received various orders and awards, including the Knight's Cross of the Legion of Honor as a juror at the Paris World Exhibition of 1867 . In 1959 the Schachnerstrasse in Vienna- Donaustadt (22nd district) was named after him.
