Josef Klingsbigl

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Josef Viktor Fidelius Klingsbigl (born January 26, 1857 in Vienna ; † December 4, 1934 there ) was an Austrian architect .

Life

Josef Klingsbigl was a son of the sub-teacher Fidelius Klingsbigl and Anna Maria Julia Sezurek. He studied from 1874 to 1879 at the Polytechnic Institute and the Technical University of Vienna. For a year he apparently also attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. After completing his apprenticeship, he worked at the municipal building authority in Vienna. In 1897 he became a senior engineer and in 1900 a building inspector for buildings in the Vienna municipality. In 1903 he became a building officer, in 1912 senior building officer. Around 1920 he retired as a municipal senior building officer; after that, however, he was still a court-sworn building expert and valuer in the building trade. Since 1885 he belonged to the Austrian Association of Engineers and Architects.

The marriage with Barbara Adelheit Keller produced three daughters and one son. Klingsbigl was buried in the Vienna Central Cemetery .

buildings

From around the turn of the century, Klingsbigl took over construction management for the construction of new depots and market halls.

These included Hall II of the Währing depot in Vienna 18, Kreuzgasse 72-76, and the eastern hall on the same property, which followed in 1905.

The first city hospital in Vienna at Wolkersbergenstrasse 1 in Lainz was also built by 1913 under Klingsbigl's construction management according to plans by the architect Johann Nepomuk Scheiringer . Primary doctor Ludwig Linsmayer was involved in the planning. Klingsbigl and Scheiringer were awarded the Knight's Cross of the Franz Joseph Order in 1913 for the construction of this Kaiser jubilee hospital for the municipality of Vienna, which consisted of four neoclassical building complexes arranged around a courtyard .

He was also involved in the construction of the New Meat Hall in Vienna 3 in 1899 and was probably responsible for the planning and construction management of the central fish market in Vienna 1, which was built from 1903 to 1904. From 1904 to 1906 he was busy building the Viktualienhalle in Vienna 3, which was demolished in 1976. The hall buildings were mostly made of raw bricks and had simple historicizing forms.

Klingsbigl's works also included the Vienna Central Horse Slaughterhouse , which was built in Vienna 10/11 in 1908.
