Viktor Axmann

[1] He spent most of his life in Osijek, but he died in 1946 in a communist labor camp in Valpovo.

Afterwards, he specialized in Vienna, Austria, where he got in touch with contemporary ideas of urban architecture of Josef Hoffman, Otto Wagner, and Camillo Sitte.

In that period, he built numerous architecturally important buildings in Osijek, such as the Apprentices' Dormitory (Croatian: Naučnički dom, built in 1923), Workers' Insurance Office (Ispostava urea za osiguranje radnika, also 1923), two pavilions of the Osijek Hospital (Osječka bolnica, 1925), House of Falcons (Sokolski dom, 1928), Boarding School (Đački dom, 1929), the palace of the County Office of Workers' Insurance (Okružni ured za osiguranje radnika, 1936, co-projected with D. Špiller and J. Kastl) and Office of the Matches' Factory "Drava" Pension Fund (Dom mirovinske zaklade tvornice žigica "Drava", 1940).

He tried to add modern ideas of spatial planning to organize the Osijek metropolitan area.

Under Wagner's influence, in 1908, he projected Osijek's main square and farmers' market.
