Who was Karl Troll?

Karl Troll was an Austrian architect.

Karl Troll was the son of a carpenter from a small village in Lower Austria. He was sent to Vienna to learn textile printing in a vocational school. During 1886–89 he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna under Friedrich von Schmidt. As an excellent student with interest in medieval churches he obtained a scholarship for a study trip to Germany and Italy.

During 1893–1905 Troll worked in the architecture bureau of Franz von Neumann. He won an award for his participation in the design of the St. Anton Church in Vienna-10. Among his independent projects were the city school in Antonsplatz, Vienna 10 and Evangelical Church in Moravská Ostrava.

After the death of Neumann, Karl Troll and Johann Stoppel, another member of the bureau, started an independent office. Their largest projects were Saint Leopold Church in Donaufeld and catholic church in Grillenberg. Many other proposals, however, were not implemented.
