from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sepp Hubatsch , actually Josef Hubatsch (born March 4, 1873 in Schäßburg , today Romania ; † March 8, 1935 in Maria Enzersdorf , Lower Austria ) was an Austrian architect.

Hubatsch graduated from the state trade school in his hometown and then studied under Otto Wagner at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna from 1896 to 1900 . After that he was a freelance architect. He was married to a native Maria Enzersdorf, settled here and lived in the house at Franz Keim-Gasse 14 until 1932. He spent the last years of his life until 1935 in house no.16, which his widow lived in until 1936 after his death.

The Art Nouveau row houses in Brunn am Gebirge

In 1905 he built the girls' college in Mödling , which was later changed several times and increased by one floor. His best-known work, which is now a listed building , is a row house settlement built by Hubatsch from 1902 to 1912 in Brunn am Gebirge with a remarkable Art Nouveau decor . Hubatsch himself acted as the builder for the ten two-family houses. In 1912/13 he played a key role in the second phase of construction of the Church of the Holy Spirit of the St. Gabriel Mission House in Maria Enzersdorf.

He received first prize in the competition for the Budapest stock exchange building.

His son Wilhelm Hubatsch was also an architect, who was also involved in the planning of the Gartenstadt Süd , the district of Südstadt with the headquarters of EVN AG in Maria Enzersdorf.

The traffic area Sepp Hubatsch-Gasse is named after Hubatsch in the place where he died.
