BaronKarl von Hasenauer (German:Karl Freiherr von Hasenauer[ˈhaːzənaʊɐ]) (20 July 1833 – 4 January 1894) was an importantAustrianarchitect and key representative of theHistorismus school.[1]
He created severalNeo-Baroque monuments, many around near theRingstraße inVienna. He was also a student ofAugust Sicard von Sicardsburg andEduard van der Nüll.[2] For his outstanding work, he was ennobled byEmperor Franz Joseph I in 1873, and madeFreiherr, the equivalent of baron.
Hasenauer was the chief architect for the Vienna World's Fair in 1873. Together withGottfried Semper he designed the complex with theMaria-Theresia Memorial (1874-1888),Kunsthistorisches Museum (the Museum of Art History) and theNaturhistorisches Museum (Natural History Museum) (1871–1891), theBurgtheater (1874–1888), theHermesvilla 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 theSemperoper inDresden, Hasenauer receives more credit for the architecture in the Ringstraße.
