Neue Einblicke in die Baugeschichte Wiens

In kaum einer Architektenbiographie des ausgehenden 19. Jahrhunderts spiegeln sich der strahlende Glanz historistischer Baukunst, die dynamische Entwicklung Wiens, judische Emanzipationsbestrebungen und zunehmender Antisemitismus derart konzentriert wider wie im Falle Wilhelm Stiassnys. Wilhelm Stiassny (1842-1910) war ein vielseitiger Architekt der Donaumonarchie, erfolgreicher Wiener Kommunalpolitiker sowie ambitionierter Vertreter judischer Interessen. Seine Biographie offenbart einen herausragenden Reprasentanten der bewegten Epoche des Fin de Siecle und spiegelt das zunehmend spannungsgeladene Umfeld des erfolgreichen judischen Grossburgertums wider. Vor der Folie der kulturellen, politischen, sozialen sowie stadtebaulichen Auf- und Umbruche der Donaumetropole wird eine weit uber das ubliche Schema einer Architektenbiographie hinausgehende Analyse geboten, die Stiassnys architektonisches Oeuvre in den Mittelpunkt stellt. Dazu zahlen reprasentativ gestaltete Wohn- und Geschaftshauser, Villen, Gebaude fur soziale Einrichtungen, Synagogen, Zeremonienhallen und Grabdenkmaler. Vieles entstand in Zusammenarbeit mit namhaften judischen Auftraggebern, deren Bedeutung fur das Werk Stiassnys ebenso sichtbar wird wie sein Verdienst um die Grundung des Judischen Museums.
