Karl Fischl
Karl Adalbert Fischl-Pirkhänfeld (born April 17, 1871 in Birkfeld , Oberer Markt 4, † February 21, 1937 in Kainbach near Graz ) was an Austrian architect . He is considered a representative of Art Nouveau .
Life
The pupil Karl Freiherr von Hasenauer and Otto Wagner as well as his colleague Josef Plečniks mainly built private houses (including interior furnishings) in Vienna and the surrounding area. After the First World War , apart from the - by the way very striking - community housing complex , Vienna - Favoriten , Triester Straße 75-77, no other building by the apparently seriously ill architect, who spent the last years of his life in his Styrian homeland, is documented. Fischl came to the care center of the Barmherzigen Brüder in Kainbach near Graz (Johannes v. Gott) on June 2, 1936 and died there on February 21, 1937. He is also buried there in the small forest cemetery without a tombstone.
