Life
The son of a master stonemason first completed an apprenticeship with his father. In 1847 he moved to Munich and was a guest student at the polytechnic school . 1849-1853 he studied architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich a . a. with Ludwig Lange .
After graduating, there followed a longer stay in Paris, which was to be of importance for his later creative work, especially in interior design. As an architect, he initially worked at the world exhibitions in London in 1862 and Paris in 1867 . In Paris he built the "Portuguese Pavilion". In the mid-1860s he came to Vienna and worked for the architects Eduard van der Nüll and August Sicard von Sicardsburg , where he a. a. the construction of the first Haas House was involved. He then went into business for himself and founded his own studio in 1872. He built a number of representative city palaces and residential buildings in Vienna and Pressburg in the so-called Ringstrasse style . There were also projects outside of Austria , such as in Hungary (Festetics Palace in Keszthely ) and for Prince Alexander I. Battenberg in Bulgaria (reconstruction of the Prince's Palace in Sofia and the Euxinograd Summer Palace on the Black Sea coast).
Rumpelmayer died in 1885 at the age of 55 and was buried in the Andreas Cemetery in Bratislava . His wife Luise (1848–1890) followed him. The grave stele designed in neo-Gothic style has been preserved and is entered in the Bratislava List of Monuments .
