Friedrich Grünanger was an Austro-Hungarian architect who worked primarily in Bulgaria.
Born in Schäßburg in Austria-Hungary, Grünanger studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna architecture school between 1877 and 1879, under Friedrich von Schmidt. As a style, he was a representative of the late historism, of the eclectic style, the Viennese Neo-Baroque and the Vienna Secession.
