Karl Schleps

Karl Schleps (* 1802 in Feldsberg , Moravia ; † February 2, 1840 in Vienna ) was an Austrian court architect .

Life

Karl Schleps was the son of the princely Liechtenstein builder Franz Schleps. At the age of 15 he attended the ore intersection school of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and at the age of 18 the Polytechnic Institute . Very little is known about his life. In any case, in 1839 in Vienna, he described himself as the Duke of Coburg and drew up a plan to regulate the rope site. In addition, some buildings and modifications in Moravian castles are attributed to him, but this is not certain. Schleps died of typhus in Vienna at the age of 38 .

Karl Schleps can be seen as a representative of late classicism . The only building that can certainly be attributed to him is the Palais Coburg in Vienna, which, however, has changed in its current form. The main draft for this should come from Schleps. As early as 1837 he drew up a plan for the design of the palace with the builder Adolf Korompay , but it was not well received. The later plan of 1839 was then implemented (with changes), although Schleps himself died shortly afterwards. The idea of the free colonnade on the garden side of the palace in particular goes back to Schleps.
