biography

Jakob Gartner was born as one of five children to Jewish parents. In Brno he first attended the state trade school and completed a two-year internship at the construction company Knauer, Groß & Löwenfeld . Further stations in his training were a year as an architectural draftsman with Carl Korn in Bielitz , two years with Hugo von Wiedenfeld and three years in Vienna with Gustav Matthies. During this time he was probably already studying at the Academy of Fine Arts with Karl von Hasenauer . One year after completing his studies, he went into business for himself in 1888.

In 1908 he married his wife Anna, who brought her son Robert Grünbaum with her from her first marriage.

In addition to residential and commercial buildings, he mainly built synagogues , which gave him particular fame. The Humboldt Temple he built in Vienna and the Brigittenau Temple were destroyed during the November pogroms in 1938 .

Between 1914 and 1917, Jakob Gartner planned the construction of the new Jewish cemetery at Vienna's central cemetery . Instead of the ceremonial hall designed by him, only a temporary building could be built for financial reasons. Between 1926 and 1928, a new ceremonial hall was built according to plans by Ignaz Reiser.

Jakob Gartner was buried in the Döblingen cemetery .
