Life

From 1886 he was a teacher at the technical school for the wood industry in Villach , in 1903 he took over the management of the technical school for drawing and modeling in Ortisei in Val Gardena . In 1907 he became director of the technical school for wood and stone processing ( HTBLA Hallein ) in Hallein , which he fundamentally modernized in the following years. He retired in 1915 and moved to Salzburg. He ran a workshop there with his daughter Luise (1894–1982). He created grave monuments, portrait medallions and busts which he executed in various materials (wood, plaster, stone, terracotta). The monument to defender Josef Struber on Pass Lueg (1898, bronze) is well known. In later years he turned to the nativity scene.

The portrait reliefs of Governor Alois Winkler in Grafenhof (State Clinic St. Veit im Pongau ) and in the Institute for Business Development come from him .
