Michael von Barich

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael von Barich , even Mihael Barić (* 1792 , † 1859 ) was a Viennese court konzipist in the Imperial and Royal Austro-Hungarian Administration, wholesalers and Bauspekulant .

His best-known, albeit most controversial act was the purchase of the Althan Garden Palace in Ungargasse in 1839 . This was subsequently torn down and parceled out into 34 building sites. This corresponded to the building pressure caused by the growing population of the Vienna suburbs. Barich and like-minded people recognized the opportunity that arose in the exploitation of the feudal garden palace near downtown Vienna. The Barichgasse in its parceling area has been named after Barich since 1876 .

Barich (also Baric) was also known for the fact that he brought a mummy with him to Vienna from a trip to Egypt around 1849 , which after his death ended up in the Agram (now Zagreb) National Museum and because of its Etruscan mummy bandages, the Zagreb mummy bandages named afterwards , aroused particular scientific interest.
