Life
Hieronymus Moosbrugger was the son of the builder Josef Simon Moosbrugger (1774–1828). In the churches he built in Tyrol, Hieronymus worked as a church decorator. As a result, King Ludwig I of Bavaria became aware of him and gave him orders between 1830 and 1834. From 1839 Moosbrugger worked on numerous palaces and churches in Vienna. Here he died of typhus in 1858.
In 1909, Moosbruggergasse in Vienna- Meidling was named in his honor .
