Karl Haybäck

Karl Haybäck (born August 6, 1861 in Pressburg , † June 4, 1926 in Vienna ) was an Austrian architect and a representative of the Vienna Secession .

Life

Karl Haybäck was born in Pressburg in 1861 as the son of the carpenter, building contractor and timber dealer Carl Haybäck . After completing his compulsory school years, he studied at the Zurich Polytechnic , among others with Alfred Friedrich Bluntschli . At this he also passed his structural engineering diploma examination, the exact date is not known. In 1879, just 18 years old, he came to Vienna and for two years attended various lectures and exercises at the Technical University of Vienna with Heinrich von Ferstel and Karl König . It is unclear whether he then gained practical experience with his father or in another construction company, because it was not until 1895 that he enrolled for further studies at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts . He received a three-year scholarship from the Hungarian state and completed his studies in Carl von Hasenauer's master class during this time . One year after graduating, he was already working as a freelance architect.

Karl Haybäck's first known building was a summer theater constructed entirely of iron in the Prater (1889–1890), “with a sliding roof that will stretch over the building when it rains”. Like many young architects, he initially took part actively in various architectural competitions, was extremely successful and was able to carry out his winning design for a savings bank building in Neuhaus in Bohemia as early as 1890 . Karl Haybäck quickly developed into one of the most productive architects of his time. He worked on the restoration of the cathedral in his hometown, built residential buildings, public buildings, and church buildings, and in 1890 he created an exhibition building as the first object for the industrialist Heinrich von Mattoni . Mattoni had achieved wealth and prestige with the worldwide marketing of the Bohemian Giesshübler mineral water, and Karl Haybäck soon advanced to become his house architect. He built for him in Giesshübel-Puchstein, which was later renamed Giesshübel-Sauerbrunn (today Kyselka , Czech Republic), practically everything, from the storage and loading hall, the central warehouse and the stable building (the "Stallburg") to hotels and Villas, including the spring temple and the pump room. For Mattoni he designed the exhibit for the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago , a huge Giesshübler mineral water bottle surrounded by a decorative bottle arrangement, which he personally installed in Chicago. In addition to the diverse work for Mattoni, Haybäck also handled a large number of private assignments in various countries of the monarchy. Since Giesshübel-Sauerbrunn is close to Karlsbad , he worked there several times, especially in hotel construction.

Early on, Karl Haybäck was involved in the establishment of health and sanatoriums. Over time he developed into a true specialist in this field and built up to 20 of these systems in the course of his activity. He designed the first sanatorium on the site of Gutenbrunn Palace in Baden near Vienna in 1896/1897 for Dr. Gustav Lantin , who at the same time had Haybäck build a summer villa in Pörtschach am Wörther See . Haybäck had already been involved in the construction of villas in Carinthia in the past , but from this point onwards Haybäck was able to develop a brisk construction activity on the shores of Lake Wörth and in Klagenfurt.

From 1910, Karl Haybäck was mainly employed in Vienna, mainly in the 3rd district of Vienna , where he also had an office and apartment. His eldest son, Karl Haybäck jun., Became an architect like his father and, after completing his studies at the Technical University of Vienna (2nd state examination in 1914), joined his father's studio as an employee. The First World War interrupted the construction activity of the Haybäck studio, which had flourished up to that point, and no buildings can be verified for the time after that either.

Karl Haybäck died of a cerebral haemorrhage in Vienna at the age of 65. He was buried at the central cemetery. His eldest son and successor Karl Haybäck jun. died early in a mountain accident on the Rax .
