Jakob Gartner

Jakob Gartner (6 October 1861 in Přerov – 15 April 1921 in Vienna) was an Austrian Jewish architect.

Life

Gartner was born on 6 October 1861,^[1] came from a Jewish family with five children. He studied in Brno, and then worked as an intern with other architects in Bielitz and Vienna. In 1888 he became independent and designed several dwellings and a synagogue. He died on 15 April 1921 in Vienna.^[1] He was laid to rest in Döbling.

Gartner designed several synagogues in historic Hungary, including Debrecen, Trnava (now Slovakia), Galgoc (today Slovakia), and Târgu Mureş (today Romania). He was likely also the designer of the synagogue at the Újpest Synagogue in Budapest.^[2]

Some of his buildings were later destroyed during the National Socialist pogroms.

He was married to Anna Lanzer.^[1]
