He studied mechanical engineering at the Vienna University of Technology and started his career at Clayton & Shuttleworth. Pitzinger joined the Austro-Hungarian Navy in 1886. He spent much of his career at the naval arsenal in Pula. He had significant design responsibilities for the Erzherzog Karl-class battleships and the Radetzky-class battleships. He led the design of the Ersatz Monarch-class battleships which were cancelled when World War I broke out in 1914. In 1914 he was promoted to Naval Constructor General. His naval career ended in 1918 with the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian empire.

gollark: Not just occasional "team building days" or something.
gollark: I think the "random facts about taxes and whatever" life skills should be learned independently and the vague general stuff like "working in teams" would be best learned through actually doing it seriously.
gollark: I would of course replace the English lesson badness with bringing arbitrary books in to read yourself.
gollark: School but instead of reading random poems you memorise 'life skills' would be quite ae ae ae, as they say.
gollark: If I were to redesign school, it would be much less regimented (you would not be grouped by year etc.), more flexible (an actually sane schedule and more/earlier choice of subjects), and focus on more general skills (not overly specific reading of books, or learning procedures for specific maths things, or that sort of thing). Additionally, more project-based work and more group stuff.
