Leopold Fuchs (born December 5, 1868 in Hungary , † November 7, 1920 in Vienna ) was an Austrian architect and builder .

Life

Biographical data about Fuchs are hardly known. So you neither know where he was born nor what training he received where. In any case, he appeared in Vienna in 1894 and worked here as an architect and building contractor until the beginning of the First World War . The contemporary encyclopedias and specialist publications do not mention him.

Fuchs was Jewish , married and had two daughters. He died in Vienna at the age of 51 and was buried in the old Israelite section of the Vienna Central Cemetery.

Leopold Fuchs mainly built residential buildings in the inner districts of Vienna. He initially used a neo-baroque, historicist formal language and later took up secessionist stylistic devices . A distinctive feature of his buildings is the highly sculptural design of the façades, whereby he processed the existing vocabulary into independent and original solutions.
