Competition Entry by Vienna-based Architect August Kirstein for St Peter and Paul Church in Osijek
Dragan Damjanović
Abstract
The Vienna-based architect August Kirstein participated in the 1892/93 competition for the design of St Peter and Paul Church in Osijek. His Renaissance- Baroque project won the second prize although the main initiator of the construction project, bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer showed considerable reluctance to the idea of building the church in that particular style. Kirstein undoubtedly owed his success to Viktor Luntz – one of the jury members and his fellow worker in the architectural practice run by Friedrich Schmidt.
