About Carl Roesner

Lived 1804 – 1869 (aged 65). Carl Roesner was an Austrian architect and university teacher.

Carl Roesner (19 June 1804, Vienna - 13 July 1869, Steyr) was an Austrian architect.

Life He studied architecture in Vienna and Rome. In 1826, he began his work as a proofreader for lectures at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and, in 1835, became a Professor there. He gravitated to the Romanticists and concentrated on sacred art. Wilhelm Stiassny was one of his students. He was also editor of the Allgemeine Bauzeitung (General Construction News).
