Life
Friedrich Schaffernak studied civil engineering at the Graz University of Technology . From 1909 he worked as an engineer in the Imperial and Royal Ministry of Public Works . In 1914 he graduated as Dr. techn. at the Technical University of Vienna, where he qualified as a professor for hydrology and river engineering in 1917 and was appointed full professor for hydraulic engineering II (water management, river engineering and hydropower plants) in 1919. In the academic years 1926/27 and 1927/28 he was the dean of the civil engineering school, in the academic year 1929/30 he was elected rector of the Vienna University of Technology . In 1938 he succeeded the resigned Vice-Rector Friedrich Böck , and in 1947 he retired .
In 1921 he was made an honorary citizen of the Technical University of Karlsruhe , and from 1934 he was a real member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences .
