Abstract
Osijek was one of the few Croatian towns that in the 1920s redesigned its centre through an international competition called to regularise the unbuilt and undeveloped area around the former fortress (Tvrđa). The landscape architect Albert Esch won first prize and was invited to make the regularisation plan. In the interwar period Esch was one of few major landscape architects in Vienna, and he devoted all his life to designing gardens and landscape architecture, and the struggle to provide landscape architects with suitable training.
