Adolf Vogl, in Hungarian Vogl Adolf (Kismarton, Kingdom of Hungary, now Eisenstadt, Austria, 28 August 1895 – Eisenstadt, 24 March 1974), was a Hungarian–Austrian civil engineer, master builder, entrepreneur and politician. He was born and began his career in historical Hungary: he graduated from secondary school in Sopron, studied at the Joseph Technical University in Budapest, and later worked as an assistant at the Department of Geodesy. During the First World War, he served as a Honvéd officer. His later public career was connected to Burgenland: he was deputy mayor of Eisenstadt, a member of the Landtag of Burgenland, and president of the Burgenland Chamber of Commerce.[1]

Early life and education

[edit]

Vogl was born in Kismarton, then part of the Kingdom of Hungary and today known as Eisenstadt in Austria. He attended the Benedictine grammar school in Sopron. According to the school yearbook, as an eighth-grade pupil he received a prize for his essay entitled A származástan viszonya a keresztény világnézethez ("The relationship of the theory of descent to the Christian worldview"), and was also awarded for a summary work on the basic laws of physics.[2]

As a secondary school pupil, he also appeared among the problem solvers of the Középiskolai Matematikai és Fizikai Lapok; in its 1910–1911 volume a solution was published under the names "Árvái János és Vogl Adolf, Sopron".[3] In 1913 he passed his final examination at the Benedictine grammar school in Sopron with excellent results.[4]

After graduation, he studied engineering at the Royal Joseph Technical University in Budapest. In 1915, the Hivatalos Közlöny listed Vogl among those who had passed the first rigorous examination in the engineering section of the Joseph Technical University.[5]

Academic work in Budapest

[edit]

After the First World War, Vogl was connected with the Department of Geodesy at the Joseph Technical University. According to the Hivatalos Közlöny, Adolf Vogl, certified engineer, was elected assistant at the Department of Geodesy of the Budapest technical university for the period from 1 October 1920 to 31 August 1922.[6]

As a university assistant, he also contributed to the scholarly apparatus of Károly Oltay's Geodézia. In the preface to Geodézia 4, dated Budapest, November 1920, Oltay wrote that the detailed name and subject index covering all four volumes had been compiled by Jenő Károly Nagy and Adolf Vogl, certified engineers and university assistants.[7]

Military service

[edit]

During the First World War, Vogl served in the Royal Hungarian Honvéd. In 1917 he was promoted to reserve lieutenant in the 18th Honvéd Infantry Regiment.[8] The same promotion was also reported in contemporary military news.[9]

Engineering and business career

[edit]

According to the biographical summary in Atlas Burgenland, Vogl completed his studies after the war and subsequently worked in Hungary, Poland and Greece. He returned to Eisenstadt in 1925, passed the master builder's examination in 1926, and founded his own construction company in 1929.[1]

In 1922 he was also admitted as a full member of the Hungarian Society of Engineers and Architects.[10]

Public and political career

[edit]

In the interwar period, Vogl was associated with the Christian Social political milieu. According to Atlas Burgenland, he became a municipal councillor in Eisenstadt in 1929 and later served as deputy mayor of the town.[1]

The Sopron newspaper Hétfő reported in 1933 that the Christian Social district party day of Eisenstadt-Kismarton was held under the chairmanship of Engineer Vogl. The same report named Adolf Vogl, engineer, as president of the district craftsmen's association.[11]

In 1934 he was mentioned as a member of the leadership of a Burgenland craftsmen's organisation; the newspaper referred to him as "Vogl Adolf építészmérnök" ("Adolf Vogl, architectural engineer").[12] In 1935, when the new municipal representation of Eisenstadt was constituted, he was elected second deputy mayor.[13]

After 1945, Vogl continued his public career in the Austrian People's Party. According to Atlas Burgenland, he became deputy mayor of Eisenstadt, a member of the provincial leadership of the Wirtschaftsbund, and from 1945 to 1949 a member of the Landtag of Burgenland.[1]

Burgenland Chamber of Commerce

[edit]

After the Second World War, Vogl played a role in the reorganisation of the Burgenland chamber system. According to Atlas Burgenland, as a master builder from Eisenstadt he was a member of the provisional committee that dealt with the establishment of the Burgenland Chamber of Commerce. He later became president of the chamber. During his presidency, the chamber office building and the WIFI building in Eisenstadt were constructed.[14]

Legacy

[edit]

A street in Eisenstadt is named after him: the official street directory of the city lists the Adolf Vogl-Weg.[15]
