Josef Ludwig
Josef Ludwig (born April 23, 1871 in Vienna ; † October 17, 1933 there ) was an Austrian architect .
Life
Ludwig attended the State Trade School in Vienna, which he graduated in 1891. He then studied from 1892 to 1895 at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna with Karl von Hasenauer and Otto Wagner . From 1898 to 1904 he worked as a freelance architect, but then, in 1907, when he received his master builder license, he moved to the Vienna City Building Office , where he was one of their top architects . At the beginning of the Vienna community's residential construction program after the First World War, he held a leading position there. Josef Ludwig was buried in the Döblinger cemetery .
meaning
As an independent architect, Ludwig combined the historicist design scheme with decorative elements of Art Nouveau , which gave his buildings an unmistakable shape. During his time at the city building department, his own designs are not comprehensible because their projects were not recorded by name.
