Leopold Fellner
Leopold “Leo” Fellner (1921-1992) was an Austrian architect.
Life
Leopold Fellner was born in 1921 and began studying under Erich Boltenstern at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna in 1946. Later, he was part of a large architectural collective consisting of Fellner, Brigitte Wiedmann, Wilhelm Twerdy, Josef Chromy, Heinrich “Heinz” Reiter and Rainer Stelzig, which designed the large Berliner Hof housing complex, built between 1955 and 1958 at the corner of Koppstraße and Possingergasse in Vienna’s 16th district, Ottakring[1]. In later years, he designed, among other projects for the City of Vienna, the Lehnergasse 4 housing complex comprising 10 apartments and built from 1976 to 1977 in Vienna’s 15th district, Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus[2]. Immediately afterward, from 1977 to 1979, a complex consisting of 36 residential units, also designed by Fellner, was built at Lehnergasse 4 in the same district [3]. In 1982, this complex was named Anton-Matourek-Hof in honor of the Viennese local politician Anton Matourek, who had passed away a few years earlier. A commemorative plaque honoring Matourek was installed on the building’s facade [4]. Fellner, who was in his early 70s, passed away in 1992.
