Hans Prutscher

Hans Prutscher (born December 5, 1873 in Vienna ; † January 25, 1959 there ) was an Austrian architect .

Life

Hans Prutscher was the son of a master carpenter, the architect Otto Prutscher was his brother. He learned carpentry and then bricklaying, and as an architect he was self-taught. He initially worked for various construction companies and architectural offices in Austria and abroad. In 1898 he became a self-employed building contractor and ran his father's carpentry business from 1911 to 1958. He worked well into old age as both a carpenter and an architect. He frequented Viennese society and received numerous commissions as an architect.

The politician Pius Michael Prutscher was his son.

He was buried at the Vienna Central Cemetery .

meaning

Before the First World War, Hans Prutscher mainly built residential and commercial buildings, and then increasingly churches and tombs. He was initially inspired by Otto Wagner , but also took up other influences of the modern age, so that around 1910 he came up with very modern forms that point to the future. Among his sacred buildings, the Carmelite Church at Stefan-Fadinger-Platz in Vienna 10 (1928) deserves a mention, as it was the second “concrete church” in Vienna. Prutscher's architectural work shows a strong inclination towards the arts and crafts and emphasizing the front sides of his buildings.
