Carl Roesner

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 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).

As he worked during the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, many of his buildings are now outside Austria. A street in Vienna's Meidling district was named the "Roesnergasse" in his honor.

gollark: No. What would that even involve?

gollark: It's very annoying. Even though we use osmarkslisp™-2038 and HeavLisp8 on many of our things, we still use BCPL as a backend for some things.

gollark: `'()`

gollark: This is because the interpreter is only capable of tail call optimization and not arbitrary stack depth in general.

gollark: `qsort` takes a continuation parameter.
