Philipp Schlucker

Philipp Schlucker (* 1748 ; † 1820 ) was an Austrian builder .

Life

Schlucker built - after a public tender - during the reign of Emperor Joseph II from 1782 to 1787 the approximately 22 kilometer long wall around the Lainzer Tiergarten at a sixth the price of the competition. The Viennese population, influenced by the inferior competition, feared because of this alleged dumping price that he would go bankrupt . One therefore spoke of the poor swallower . But he completed the wall properly after five years of construction.

He built his house in Alland 65 on a piece of land that the Kaiser had given him, today Schluckergasse.
