    Builders who changed the face of Novi Sad

    Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

    The bombing of Novi Sad on June 12, 1849, which was due to the conflict between the Austrian army, led by the Ban Jelacic with Serb border guards and the citizens, and the garrison fortress, destroyed much of the city. From a total of 2,812 buildings have been preserved only 808, and of the 20,000 inhabitants survived only 7,000. The bombing destroyed the cultural heritage and numerous documents, archives, and works of art.
    In the after bombing period till 1853, in the city had arrived many builders who needed a job, but because of the city’s loan financial resources from Vienna, there was enough work for them. They were experts in the construction and reconstruction of houses for the citizens, and among them were mostly all of the German origin builders, Andreas Haner, Anton Lesmajster, Laurence’s Fojhtner, Joseph Kimnah, Theodor Shift and others. Thanks to them, the center of Novi Sad was revived. All architectural structures built during the nineteenth century in the city were an eclectic mix of neo-styles as long as the influence of Hungarian Art Nouveau began to dominate among architects, in the late nineteenth century, in the cities of Vojvodina. Then local architects and builders proved their capacities, such as Jozef Cocek, Franc Lerer, Karl Lerer, Stevan Frank, Vilmos Linarić and others.
