Live and act

Wolfgang (IV) Hagenauer was born as the eldest of eleven children at Amangut in Hagenau in Straß near Ainring. He was the brother of Johann Baptist Hagenauer and Johann Georg Hagenauer .

In Salzburg he and his brother Johann Baptist were discovered and promoted by his uncle Lorenz von Hagenauer , a wealthy merchant and patron of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart . As the eldest son, Wolfgang was actually supposed to take over his parents' estate in Hagenau, but since he became an orphan at an early age, he initially trained as a carpenter. He lived in the house of his Salzburg uncle Johann Lorenz Hagenauer. In 1755 he went to the Academy in Vienna and studied architecture, which was made possible by a scholarship from Salzburg Prince Archbishop Sigismund Graf Schrattenbach and the support of his uncle. In 1759 he returned to Salzburg and became a high princely valet. In 1760 he was appointed court building manager. His first buildings, the church in Itter in 1762 and the church in Buchbach bei Mühldorf in 1763 (Catholic parish church), already reveal the new classical style.

Between 1764 and 1771 he worked closely with his brother Johann Baptist von Hagenauer, who later became director of the Vienna Academy. At the same time, Wolfgang Hagenauer founded a private drawing school in Salzburg. During this time the Sigmundstor and the Marian Column on the Domplatz in Salzburg were built.

As the royal court building director, Hagenauer was in charge of the entire construction industry of the Salzburg Archbishopric. He created church buildings and altars, the nave of the parish church in Hallein , Mattsee , Bergheim (deanery church St. Georg), Elsbethen (all in the province of Salzburg), as well as in Matrei in East Tyrol and Brixen im Thale .

In 1791 he drew the plans for the Saalach construction near Hammerau . In 1801 he died of "nerve fever" in the same year as his wife at the age of 75. He was buried at the Petersfriedhof in Salzburg in the Hagenauer family crypt (arcade crypt no. 52), in which his brother Johann Georg Hagenauer is also buried.

At first he was characterized by classical design, combined with the will to monumental expression, later the influence of the plait style increased in his works .

Wolfgang Hagenauer married Maria Elisabeth Gasser (July 3, 1752– January 22, 1801), daughter of the businessman Josef Gasser and Elisabeth Stöger, in Salzburg Cathedral on May 18, 1772. They had five children together: Maria Theresia Elisabeth (August 15, 1773–1826), Maria Anna Aloysia (May 22, 1777–1847), Johann Wolfgang (August 15, 1781–1850), Franz de Paula (May 9, 1784– 1792), Maria Elisabeth Felicita (July 1, 1790–1869).
