Live and act

Josef Müllner was the second son of the businessman Josef Müllner and his wife Maria (née Schimmer), grandson of Johann Baptist Schimmer (1799–1872), from 1850 to 1872 the first mayor of Weikersdorf, which came to Baden in 1912.

From 1896 to 1902 he studied with Edmund Hellmer and Kaspar von Zumbusch at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. In 1903 he received the Rome Prize , which enabled him to go on a year-long study trip to Italy.

From 1906 to 1911 it belonged to the Secession , from 1912 to the Künstlerhaus . In 1910 he became a professor at the Vienna Academy , where he was rector from 1927 to 1929 and then vice-rector for eight years. After completing the 1947/48 academic year, he retired after 38 years of teaching.

In 1949 the city of Baden granted him honorary citizenship, and in 1964 the city's culture award. Müllner was also granted honorary citizenship of the City of Vienna.

Muellner and his works, such as the Siegfried head , the war memorial of the University of Vienna from 1923 are today because of his support of Nazism strongly in the years 1938-1945 controversial. Among his neoclassical works are the trout fountain created in 1910 in the garden of Franz Schubert's birthplace, the Wehrmann in Eisen hurriedly ordered and executed in 1915, the hero monument of the University of Vienna from 1922, a statue in front of the Theseus temple in the Vienna Volksgarten and, as a late work, the bust of Mozart in Baden. His panther female with her cubs was on loan from 2002 to 2008 in the Hanau Historical Museum . The Karl Lueger memorial designed between 1913 and 1916, originally intended for Rathausplatz and erected in 1926 on Dr.-Karl-Lueger-Platz , was also by Müllner. He was buried at the Vienna Central Cemetery .

Based on the municipal council resolution of June 22, 1983, Josef-Müllner-Straße in Baden is named after Josef Müllner.

His students included Rudolf Schmidt , Bruno Zach, Ilse Glaninger-Balzar and Karl Nieschlag.
