Wilhelm Engerth
1814–1884 (age 70)
Biography
Wilhelm Engerth combined architectural sensibility and engineering skill, contributing to the design of railway bridges and stations as well as urban buildings, while his work on the articulated locomotive bearing his name helped Austria meet the demands of a growing railway network.
His thoughtful approach to connecting cities, bridges and trains left a durable mark on Austrian infrastructure, and upon his death in 1884 he was laid to rest in Stadtpfarrfriedhof Baden, where admirers continue to recall his inventive spirit.
