Leo Hönigsberg (Croatian: Lavoslav Hoenigsberg, pronounced [lâʋoslaʋ xěniɡzberg]; born in 1861, died in 1911) was famous Croatian architect and co-owner of the architecture studio Hönigsberg & Deutsch.[2]

Early life and family[]

Hönigsberg was born in Zagreb, Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, to a Croatian Jewish family.[3][4][5][6] He studied in Vienna at the Technische Hochschule (today the Vienna University of Technology) under Heinrich von Ferstel where he graduated in 1883.[7] Hönigsberg trained at the studios of Ludwig Tischler and Anton Krones.

Later years[]

In 1887 Hönigsberg returned to Zagreb where he worked with Julio Deutsch, at Kuno Waidmann's studio on the recommendation of Hermann Helmer. In 1889 Hönigsberg and Deutsch founded the Hönigsberg & Deutsch bureau,[8] which soon grew into one of the largest building companies in Zagreb.

After the death of Hönigsberg, in 1911, the studio was taken over by Deutsch.[9] Hönigsberg was buried at the Mirogoj Cemetery.[1][10]
