Life

Born Otto Emmerich Rudolf Paupie , son of the well-known architect Otto Wagner (1841-1918) and Sofie Anna Paupie (1840-1912), Otto Wagner junior was legitimized by his father at the age of 18.

Despite personal conflicts with him, he followed the professional example of his father, even if he could not follow up on his great successes. He studied at the Technical University of Vienna and worked temporarily in his father's office. According to the architectural encyclopedia of the Architekturzentrum Wien , Wagner sen. his son as successor and entrusted him with the continuation of his studio in his will; However, the son closed the studio due to the generally very difficult economic situation after the First World War. Wagner jun. worked in Vienna and Berlin from 1895–1920, primarily in Graz from 1920–1927 (until its bankruptcy, director of a housing welfare association), then again mainly in Vienna and Germany, without receiving major orders. Towards the end of the Second World War he fled from Vienna to Bavaria, where he died at the age of 81.

Otto Wagner junior married Paula Aloisia Schmeidler (1873–1953) in 1898, but the marriage was later separated. The two had a daughter, Paula Wagner (1899–1974), who married the renowned Viennese art historian Ludwig Baldass .

Carl Holzmann , who designed and built houses Alois-Drasche-Park 6 and 7 for another client. Otto Wagner junior's largest project was four houses in the south-eastern part of the redevelopment of Alois-Drasche-Park in Vienna's 4th district with multi-storey bourgeois rental houses; he was the owner and designer of the objects for all four parcels. The area had been parceled out shortly before 1900; In 1898 the Alois-Drasche-Platz was officially named, and in 1899 the name was changed to Park. The city administration decided - a peculiarity for Vienna - not to provide any lanes between the houses to be built directly on the park and the green area, to interrupt the alleys crossing the park and to keep the park completely free of traffic. The delivery to these houses must (have) therefore take place via their second wing, which is located on passable streets.
