meaning

Wilhelm Fraenkel succeeded the great architects of the Ringstrasse , especially Theophil von Hansen . He preferred forms of the neo-renaissance , more rarely old German and baroque forms in the exterior design of his buildings. They are characterized by elegance and are representative designed, as the upper-class clients expected. Conservative in design, Fraenkel was always open to modern construction methods.
