Mira Kolar-Dimitrijević ; Faculty of Philosophy, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

Born in Zagreb, V. Heinzel was linked to this city during his entire life. For eighteen years he worked as an architect, ten years as President of the Chamber of Commerce and Enterprises, and eight years as mayor. In each of these services, Heinzel accomplished significant results.
The author discusses Heinzel's last two services during which Zagreb developed Industries and became a modern Mid-European city. Under his leadership, the preconditions for the construction of Zvonimirova and Martićeva streets were created, constructed a new fair-ground in the street that now bears his name, ordered that the industrial zone should be in the Žitnjak region, and built a temporary system of dams along Sava river. Heinzel was also responsible for eliminating taxes for ten years, which spurred the housing industry. In short, Heinzel made Zagreb into a modern Croatian metropolis.
