Julius Mayreder

Julius Mayreder

Julius Mayreder (born June 26, 1860 in Mauer near Vienna ; † January 15, 1911 in Vienna ) was an Austrian architect . He was the younger brother of Karl Mayreder and brother-in-law of the women's rights activist Rosa Mayreder .

Life

After finishing secondary school , Mayreder first attended the Vienna University of Technology from 1878 to 1880 with Heinrich von Ferstel and Karl König . But since he was more interested in the artistic side of architecture, he switched to the arts and crafts school , where he stayed from 1880 to 1882, and from 1883 to 1886 to the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna , where he attended Friedrich von Schmidt's master class . After successfully completing his studies, he was able to go on an extended study trip to Greece , Constantinople , Italy , Germany and France thanks to a travel grant (Rome price 1886) .

In 1888 Mayreder began to work with Victor Luntz in Vienna, then with E. Nordio in Trieste and with Adolf Láng in Budapest . Back in Vienna, he worked for Franz von Neumann in 1890 , before Mayreder became self-employed in 1891. From this point on he worked often and successfully with his brothers Karl and Rudolf Mayreder. From 1907 Mayreder was a member of the Vienna Secession .

In 1904 he married Maria Einsle. His son Friedrich was born in 1905 and also became an architect. Mayreder developed a brain disease and died at the age of 51. He was buried in the Vienna Central Cemetery .

plant

Julius Mayreder was very active. He not only built mansions and houses, but also train stations and factories, and he designed tombs and interiors. Together with his brothers, he took part in competitions for large urban development projects in Vienna, such as the planning of the parlor district and the general regulatory plan. In the residential buildings implemented together with Karl Mayreder, it is difficult to determine the share of the individual architects. Like his brother, Mayreder used predominantly neo-baroque historicist forms that corresponded to the need for representation of the time. However, he was open to modern trends and from 1900 also used secessionist elements.
