Ramsauer died at an early age of spinal cord consumption.
meaning
All of Ramsauer's buildings were planned and executed together with Otto Richter. Particularly noteworthy are the residential complex at Buchengasse 7–9, which is considered to be the forerunner of public housing, and Wiedenhof, which is considered to be the forerunner of later community buildings from the interwar period. The two architects also built the first men's dormitory in Austria as well as an interesting building complex that combines living and workshops in Mariahilf.
