from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Mollner (* 1732 in Vienna ; † 30 August 1801 there ) was an Austrian master builder .

Life

Nothing is known about Mollner's origins and youth. In 1766 he married Theresia Dorn, with whom he had six children. In the same year he also received the master builder license. Mollner was not only a bourgeois town builder, but also after 1777 as the successor to Ferdinand Mödlhammer fortification builder. He maintained good contacts with the court, but also with other leading builders in Vienna. Mollner was also a member of the city's foreign council. His burial took place in the Währing local cemetery .

In Stockerau the Peter-Mollner-Straße was named after him.

Peter Mollner was one of Vienna's leading architects during the Josephinist period , i.e. the transition from late baroque to classicism . He was mainly concerned with residential buildings, which often combine several parcels to form large apartment buildings. In keeping with the spirit of the times, the facade design is mostly simple and limited to pilaster strips and window roofing. Many of the residential buildings were later rebuilt, so that only a few original Mollner buildings have survived. Mollner also built several churches, especially in Lower Austria .

Parish Church Stockerau (1778–1781)
Pasqualati House (1791–1798)

The imperial quarry

Above all, load-bearing architectural parts were made of the hardest Kaiserstein , so the collaboration with Kaisersteinbruch stonemasons is documented.
