Abstract
This paper investigates the organisational structure and operations of the construction service in Križevci, as well as the activities of its employees from 1777 to 1918. The activities of the construction service in Križevci depended on the organisational structure of the construction service in Croatia. It is divided into five periods: from 1777 to 1848; from 1848 to 1868; from 1868 to 1876; from 1876 to 1894; and from 1894 to 1918.
To gain insight into the operations of the construction service in Križevci and its employees, this paper, first of all, describes the construction circumstances in Križevci, as well as those in the surrounding areas and Croatia, followed by a list of employees over the years.
Two experts stand out in the construction service in Križevci, both of whom were later employees of the Croatian construction service: Juraj Augustin, who was the head of the government’s Construction Department from 1876 to 1909, and Franjo Horvat, who was the first vice-chairman of the Udruženje jugoslavenskih inženjera i arhitekata (Association of the Yugoslav Engineers and Architects). Since the first information on construction service in Križevci are dated at 1777, it is considered to be one of the oldest in Croatia, following the ones in Zagreb, dated at 1770, and Varaždin, dated at 1773.
