Viktor Fiala
Viktor Fiala (born October 21, 1855 in Tschernowitz , Bukowina ; † August 28, 1921 in Perchtoldsdorf , Lower Austria ) was an Austrian architect and city architect.
Life
Viktor Fiala was born in Tschernowitz as the son of the builder Anton Fiala. After graduating from secondary school there, Fiala studied from 1872 to 1877 at the Technical University in Vienna . In 1886 he passed the master builder examination and received the concession as a city master builder in Vienna. In 1892 he entered into a working group with his brother-in-law Oskar Laske Senior and with Eugen Essenther. In 1902 he and Laske founded a joint company at Kasernengasse 24 (today Otto-Bauer-Gasse) in Vienna 6th, which was converted into a general partnership in 1910 and whose managing director was Fiala. In 1910 a branch was opened in Berndorf . The son Oskar Laske joined the construction company as early as 1901 . After the death of Oskar Laske Senior in 1911, Fiala continued to run the company under the same name, although Laske Junior was already turning more and more to painting during this time. After Fiala's death in 1921, he gave up architecture entirely.
plant
Since the three architects Viktor Fiala, Oskar Laske Senior and Oskar Laske Junior worked very closely together, Fiala's special service is difficult to define. It is assumed, however, that Fiala was more responsible for the practical implementation of the building, while the Laskes took on the artistic design. Historicist forms were in the foreground in the residential and villa buildings . With the entry of the younger Laske, secessionist elements were also used. The factory buildings were built using the exposed brick construction method customary at the time.
