Rudolf Otto Gerger

Double rental house (1913/14), Davidgasse 62–64, by Rudolf Otto Gerger

Rudolf Otto Gerger (born October 19, 1880 in Vienna ; † November 7, 1975 in Vienna ) was an Austrian architect and city architect.

Life

Rudolf Otto Gerger is the older brother of the architect Alfred Gerger . He attended the state trade school in Vienna, which he completed in 1900 with the Matura. After a few years of practical experience, he obtained the master builder license in 1907 and worked as a building contractor until the 1930s. For the years 1910 to 1914 he is also documented as the author of the plans for his residential and commercial buildings, but not afterwards.

meaning

The conception of the residential buildings designed by Gerger in the Wiener Vorstadt are committed to the historicist canon, consisting of a three-zone structure consisting of a base, main and attic zone. The facades are mostly kept plain and simple. Gerger's houses have well-balanced proportions and are evidence of solid craftsmanship.
