Hans Mayr (architect)

Hans Mayr (born September 5, 1877 in Vienna ; † December 1, 1918 there ) was an Austrian architect .

Life

Hans Mayr attended the state trade school in Vienna , which he graduated in 1896. From 1899 to 1902 he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna with Otto Wagner , in whose studio he also worked. He participated in competitions and won several prizes. Even before completing his studies, he was able to create buildings according to his own designs, after which he became a freelance architect from 1902. In 1906 he entered into an office community with Theodor Mayer. During the First World War , Mayr was drafted as an engineer lieutenant. In this capacity he was used for the establishment of war cemeteries. After the end of the war, he succumbed to the Spanish flu , which was rampant in Vienna, at a young age . Hans Mayr was buried in the Hietzingen cemetery .

Hans Mayr was a typical student of Otto Wagner, who initially followed his postulates exactly. Over time, however, he softened the modern architectural style by including traditional design elements. Together with Theodor Mayer, he implemented a moderately modern design language. With the last construction project, a block of flats with small apartments in Inzersdorfer Straße, the two architects broke new ground. In its conception and form, this building anticipated the architecture of communal housing of the 1920s.
