Live and act

The son of the building contractor and engineer Charley Mögle had attended secondary school and after graduating from high school (in Austria: Matura) received his professional training at the State Trade School for Building Construction and at the Academy of Fine Arts . In addition, he completed an apprenticeship as a bricklayer. At first Fritz Mögle was exclusively employed as an architect: he worked on planning and as a site manager for civil engineering (1937/38). Mögle had moved in since the outbreak of war in 1939.

Only after the end of the Second World War did he turn to film for a good 15 years. At the beginning of his cinema career, Mögle was also involved in some French-language productions. His most interesting work was in Quebec resulting staging Marc Allégrets , The dreaming heart , his equipment-intensive power Christian-Jacques Bluebeard film version from 1951. Moegle German - including two 8.15 - war films - and Austrian film decorations - several late works of Paula Wessely -Production - faded by contrast; at most, his backdrops for Rolf Thiele's Lulu adaptation are of some interest.

After finishing his film work, Mögle worked again as an architect and designed, among other things, several underground car parks. Mögle, who was married to the publisher Therese Zednik (who worked as Therese Mögle), was buried four days before he turned 70 in the Vienna Central Cemetery.
