Live and act

Johannes Frischauf passed his Matura at the Academic Gymnasium in Vienna and from 1857 studied mathematics, physics and astronomy at the University of Vienna and geodesy, chemistry and mechanics at the Technical University. In 1861 he became a Doctor Ph.D. , Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of Vienna and assistant at the University observatory. In 1863 he completed his habilitation in mathematics. From 1866 he worked as a professor at the University of Graz for pure and applied mathematics. He worked with Ludwig Boltzmann . Johannes von Frischauf developed a new theory of card design and wrote school books on arithmetic and geometry. In 1885 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina .

Frischauf Hut ( Alois Beer , 1903)

From 1868 Johannes Frischauf was a pioneer in the tourist development in the Sannthaler and Steiner Alps , opening up paths and huts. The roads over the Paulitschsattel and the connection Sulzbach - Leutsch go back to his mission. Together with Franz von Juraschek and Mathias Spreiz he was the first to climb the Admonter Reichenstein in Gesaeuse. In a time of fierce national conflicts, Frischauf took the view that mountaineering should not be subordinate to nationalism, religion or political stance. He was involved in the establishment of the Croatian Mountaineering Society (Hrvatski Planinarski Savez). To this day, a refuge in the Sannthal Alps is named after him.

Frischauf's urn was buried on the top of the sheikh . His estate is at the University of Graz .
