history

The building from the Stubenring
Karl Schwanzer's wing in the Wiental

On March 7, 1863, the Imperial and Royal Austrian Museum for Art and Industry (usually just referred to as the Austrian Museum ) was founded by Emperor Franz Joseph on the initiative of Archduke Rainer after many years of efforts by Rudolf Eitelberger . Rudolf von Eitelberger, first professor of art history at the University of Vienna , was appointed director. The museum essentially followed the model of the South Kensington Museum (now the Victoria & Albert Museum ) in London, founded in 1852, and was intended to serve as a model collection for artists, industrialists and the public and as a training and further education facility for designers and craftsmen.

From 1866 to 1871 the museum building on Stubenring 5, which had been newly laid out shortly before, was built in the Renaissance style according to plans by Heinrich Ferstel . It was the first museum building erected on the Ring . In 1867 the kk Kunstgewerbeschule of the kk Österreichisches Museum für Kunst und Industrie was founded. In 1868 it was housed in the former rifle factory , 9. , Währinger Strasse 11-13 / Schwarzspanierstrasse 17 (today the anatomical institute of the Medical University of Vienna , which was newly built in 1886 ). This combined theoretical and practical training. There was a consistent - spatial and institutional - separation of artistic and applied arts training.

On November 4, 1871, the new museum building was opened on the Stubenring . There objects could be set up permanently and according to material focus. The arts and crafts school also moved here. 1875–1877 followed the construction of an adjoining new building for the arts and crafts school at Stubenring 3, also based on plans by Heinrich Ferstel.

In 1897 Arthur von Scala , until then director of the kk Orientalisches Museum (later the Handelsmuseum), took over the management of the Museum of Art and Industry and won Otto Wagner , Felician von Myrbach , Koloman Moser , Josef Hoffmann and Alfred Roller as employees of the museum and the arts and crafts school .

The Minervabrunnen on the Stubenring

As a result of the dispute between Scala and the Kunstgewerbeverein (founded in 1884), which saw its influence on the museum waning, Archduke Rainer resigned from his position as protector in 1898, and new statutes were approved by resolution of November 28, 1898. In 1900 the administration of the museum and the arts and crafts school were separated.

1906–1908 the museum extension was built at Weiskirchnerstrasse 3 by Ludwig Baumann . In 1909 the arts and crafts school and the museum for art and industry were separated .

In 1919, in what was now republican Austria, the name was changed to the Kunstgewerbeschule of the Austrian Museum of Art and Industry. From 1921 the arts and crafts school of the Austrian Museum of Art and Industry was designated as a federal school and from 1931 as a federal institute.

In 1937, under the dictatorship of Schuschnigg, it was renamed the Staatliche Kunstgewerbeschule Wien, in 1941 under the Nazi dictatorship in the Reichshochschule für angewandte Kunst Wien, in 1945 after the reestablishment of the Republic of Austria in the University of Applied Arts Vienna and in 1948 in the Academy of Applied Arts Vienna.

1962–1965 the extension of the academy was built on what would later be Oskar-Kokoschka-Platz, based on a design by Karl Schwanzer . In 1970 the Applied Arts was upgraded to a university, in 1971 it was renamed the University of Applied Arts, and on October 1, 1998 the university became a university in accordance with the Federal Act on the Organization of the Universities of the Arts (KUOG). At the beginning of October 2018, the completely renovated building on Oskar-Kokoschka-Platz was put into operation. It has been brought up to date in terms of fire protection, sanitary, heating and ventilation systems. The building was also dismantled down to the static basic structure. The former customs office building at Vorderen Zollamtsstrasse 7 was also adapted; cafeteria, studios, work rooms and so-called "flux rooms" were created.

The University of Applied Arts founded the first master class for media art in German-speaking countries in 1984 on the initiative of Peter Weibel and the then Rector Oswald Oberhuber . The master class has been run as the Digital Art Department since 2001 and has been led by media artist Ruth Schnell since 2010 .
