Rudolf Krausz, who comes from Northern Bohemia , attended secondary school and then studied with Ludwig Hoffmann at the Royal Technical University of Charlottenburg in Berlin .

Then he moved to Vienna, where he worked in the Fellner und Helmer architectural office around 1897 . After a short time he went into business for himself and entered into an office community with Adolf Oberländer (1898–1905). He had great success and established himself as one of the most important architects in Vienna. From 1905 he worked alone until his death. Since 1906 he was a member of the cooperative of visual artists of Vienna , where he was president of the local architects' club from 1914 to 1916.

Krausz married in 1900; The marriage resulted in a daughter born in 1903. In the First World War he was enlisted and in 1915 received the Cross of Honor 2nd Class with war decoration . After the war, however, his most important time as an architect was over, although he was still a building officer in 1920 and was active in the committee for urban development. From 1921 he was managing director of the international building society for settlements. At that time he was probably also active in his north Bohemian homeland.

Richard Krausz was a versatile architect who was able to adapt successfully to current tastes. It initially appeared in the historicist style of Neo-Baroque, which is regarded as typically Austrian . In this respect he was shaped by Hermann Helmer and Ferdinand Fellner . In addition to residential and public buildings in this sense he used at Villenbauten rather a kind of home style , he also in his council applying an end to the interwar period. In the last few years before the First World War, however, he increasingly took up suggestions from Berlin (Messel and Hoffmann), which led him to a neo-classical , sober style, the reform style . The Trattnerhof in Vienna, designed in this way, was highly controversial at the time.
