Wilhelm Jelinek (architect)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wilhelm Jelinek (born June 9, 1845 in Zboží near Nová Paka , Bohemia ; † February 8, 1919 in Vienna ) was an Austrian architect and craftsman.

Life

After attending secondary school , Jelinek was a student of the city architect Franz Schmoranz the Elder in Chrudim from 1860 to 1862 . He then came to Vienna and sat there with Theophil von Hansen at his special school at the Technical University . At Hansen he also did office work until 1869 and was an independent construction manager. Then he moved to the office of Carl Tietz , where he worked between 1869 and 1871. Several study trips took Jelinek to Germany and Switzerland , and in 1872 also to Italy . This was followed by a job at Union-Baugesellschaft in Vienna.

In 1874 Jelinek went into business for himself, initially in an office community with Anton Groß. After he fell ill in 1883, Jelinek continued to run the office alone. From 1873 he was a member of the Society of Visual Artists Vienna and the Austrian Association of Engineers and Architects. He was involved in both institutions, was a functionary and, as the house architect of the Künstlerhaus, also worked on its renovation. In 1910 he was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Franz Joseph Order .

With the beginning of the First World War , Jelinek's professional decline began in 1914 and he became dependent on grants. Jelinek was married and had four children. He was buried in the Vienna Central Cemetery .

Wilhelm Jelinek was mainly busy building residential and commercial buildings, which he carried out in Vienna and in the south of the monarchy. These are kept in the historicist style, whereby he liked to use suggestions from the Italian Renaissance . From the turn of the century, secessionist influences can also be found in the decor . He also dealt with the design of interiors and handicrafts.
