awards=|Baron Karl von Hasenauer (German: "Karl Freiherr von Hasenauer") (
July 20 ,1833 -January 4 ,1894 ) was an important Austrianarchitect and key representative of the Historismus school.He created several
Neo-Baroque monuments, many around near theRingstraße inVienna . He was also a student ofAugust Sicard von Sicardsburg andEduard van der Nüll aeiou|.h/h234020.htm|Hasenauer, Carl Freiherr von] . For his outstanding work, he was ennobled byEmperor Franz Joseph I in 1873, and given theFreiherr nobility title.Hasenauer was the chief architect for the Vienna World's Fair in 1873. Together with
Gottfried Semper he designed the complex with theKunsthistorisches Museum (the Museum of Art History) and theNaturhistorisches Museum (Natural History Museum) (1871-1891), theBurgtheater (1874-1888, and theNeue Hofburg (1881-1894, completed in 1913).After a conflict with his former business partner Semper he managed the building of the Hofburg alone. The conflict over attribution of their joint projects continues to this day between the supporters of Semper and Hasenauer. However, because the older master Semper is credited with the
Semperoper inDresden , Hasenauer receives more credit for the architecture in the Ringstraße.Notes
