Robert Oerley (born August 24, 1876 in Vienna , † November 15, 1945 ibid) was an Austrian architect , craftsman, watercolor painter and lithographer .

Life

After the son of the furniture manufacturer Anton Oerley (1849–1921) had received training as a carpenter (acquittal as a journeyman in 1892), he studied at the arts and crafts school, continued his education as an autodidact and began to deal with architecture. A large number of vedutas that he created are now in the possession of the Wien Museum .

In 1898 he went on an extensive study trip to Italy. His first work was also created in this year, the tomb of the family of the kuk court coppersmith and politician Franz Löblich in Weidling .

In 1902 he became a member of the Hagenbund and was a member of the Secession from 1907 to 1939 , of which he was also President in 1912/1913.

From 1904 he built - committed to the "strict Art Nouveau" - numerous houses in Vienna and often also designed the interiors in numerous details (e.g. 1190 Vienna, Vega gasse 17). He also designed the overall plan and the architectural part for the Strauss-Lanner monument (the monument itself is the work of the sculptor Franz Seifert ) in the Rathauspark on Vienna's Ringstrasse .

After the First World War he was involved in the planning of large community buildings in Vienna (e.g. George-Washington-Hof ). The first Vienna planetarium on Maria-Theresien-Platz was also his work.

Between 1927 and 1932, because of his interest in urban planning, he worked as an architect together with Clemens Holzmeister and Anton Hanak in Ankara . After disputes with Holzmeister, he returned to Vienna in 1934. He was rarely commissioned with planning work (for example office furnishings for Richard Strauss ). From 1935 he sat on the advisory board for urban planning and received an order from Mayor Richard Schmitz to expand the town hall , which was not carried out. Although he had a national German attitude, the Nazis regarded him as unreliable and became a social case. When he left the Secession building in 1945 , he was run over by a truck.

He rests in an honorary grave in the Vienna Central Cemetery (34B-14-10).

His brother Leopold Oerley was a well-known railway technician .
