Carl Junker

His construction projects include Miramare Castle in Trieste and the First Vienna Mountain Spring Pipeline.

Carl Junker was born as the son of a tenant farmer in 1827 in Saubersdorf in Lower Austria.

In 1856 he was instructed by archduke of Maximilian I of Mexico, the brother of Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria, with the construction of the Miramare Castle in Grignano near Trieste.

In 1864 he worked on Vienna's Emperor Franz Joseph water supply system on the grounds of his experience in hydrography.

He was the lead chief engineer in the design and construction management from the springs to the elevated tank at the Rosenhügel in Hietzing, the 13th municipal District of Vienna.
