Abstract

The most significant building made in Vukovar between the Wars was the auditorium of the Croatian Cultural Centre (a theatre in the recent past) – a fine example of Late Secession architecture coupled with Art Déco elements – designed by the architect Aleksandar Freudenreich. The project was worked out in three successive stages: from preliminary design in 1919 through the time when it received the first prize in the 1921 competition, until the final construction stage between 1921 and 1922. A few details indicate that the engineer Fran Funtak might have even been the co-author of some design solutions. The auditorium was inappropriately redesigned in the 1960s. Later it was heavily damaged in the 1991 war.
