Joseph Maria Olbrich, born in Troppau on December 22, 1867, was a renowned Austrian architect and designer of the Vienna Secession. His interest in architecture was sparked at an early age by his father, a wealthy master confectioner and wax manufacturer. After an apprenticeship as a bricklayer and work as a draftsman for a construction company, he entered the architecture class at the Vienna State Trade School. Here he was taught by Julius Deininger and Camillo Sitte and graduated with honors.
In 1893 Olbrich joined the office of Otto Wagner, who held him in high esteem. In 1896 he was instrumental in the founding of the Vienna Secession, an artists' group that had split from the Vienna Künstlerhaus. Olbrich's first major commission was the design of the Secession building. He also planned several residences in Vienna and the surrounding area, including the house for Hermann Bahr. In 1899, at the instigation of Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig of Hesse and by Rhine, Olbrich moved to Darmstadt to help found the Darmstadt Artists' Colony on Mathildenhöhe. Here he was able to freely develop his artistic talent and quickly became the unofficial leader of the colony. He designed the main building, the Ernst-Ludwig-Haus, and a number of residences and temporary buildings for exhibitions. In addition, he designed ceramic tableware, furniture and musical instruments.
Olbrich's work gained international recognition. At the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis, he made a great impression and became a corresponding member of the American Institute of Architects. His last and largest commission was in 1906 to design the Tietz department store in Düsseldorf. Despite his impressive career and contribution to art and architecture, Olbrich's life was tragically cut short by leukemia. He died in Düsseldorf at the age of only 40. However, his work remains a central part of the history of modern architecture and design in the form of architectural buildings and art prints.
