Johann Hattey

Johann Evangelist Hattey (1859–1904) was an Austrian architect born in Vienna. His father, born in Klášter, Pilsnerkreis, Bohemia, was called Josef (1818–1879) and owned some land and building plots in the city. His mother's name was Anna Maria Borik, born in Žinkovy in 1815 and buried at the Vienna Central Cemetery on 16 January 1894. Most of the buildings Johann built were, and still are, in the 18th area of the Austrian capital called 18.Wiener Gemeindebezirk or achtzehnten Bezirk. According to University site,[1] this is the list of buildings built in Vienna under his direction:


Research was done in 2008 by asking Baupolizei; MA 43 (Anfrage Gräberdatenbank; Grabprotokoll Zentralfriedhof, Wien 11); WStLA (Verlassenschaftsabhandlung)-

He was a contemporary of Austrian architect Joseph Maria Olbrich (1867–1908), co-founder of the Vienna Secession artistic group which was founded in 1897 by Gustav Klimt (1862–1918), Josef Hoffmann, and Koloman Moser. It is quite likely that Hattey and Klimt met, as Hattey and Olbrich were both architects in the same city and in the same period of time, but there is no evidence of any such meeting.

He is mentioned in the 1925 book "Währing- Ein Heimatbuch des 18. Wiener Gemeindebezirkes".

In December 2014 the Museum of the 18th District in Vienna (XVIII., Bezirksmuseum Währing, Währinger Straße 124) put on display, thanks to its director Doris Weis, a little section that acknowledges the work of Johann Hattey.

Hattey was of Czech origin. According to church books kept at the National Archives in Plzen, his father Josef, born in Klaster (Czech Republic) on 10 January 1818 as Josef Hatag, was the son of the locals Josef Hatag (same name) and Marie Svikova, who were born in the 18° century. Josef Hatag senior was the son of Simon Hatag and Magdalena Czyberova, whilst Marie Svikova was the daughter of Vojtech Svik and Anna Kuplova. Anna Borik, Josef Hatag's wife, was born in Zinkovy (Czech Republic) on 29 June 1815 and was the daughter of locals Frantisek Borik and Katerina Duchkova. Parents of Frantisek Borik were Vojtech Borik and Marie Horova, while parents of Katerina were Vojtech Duchek and Anna Hlavova.

Five sons and daughters were born from his marriage to Josefine Fuhrmann (Josefa Stranner): (Johann, Josef, Bruno, Friederike, Mathilde). Bruno (buried in the Vienna Central Cemetery on 25 October 1968) married twice-from his first marriage Doris was born -children Ian and Christine Howard- and from his second he had Elfi; Johann also called Hans had two daughters; Frieda had two sons (Remo -children Frieda and Marina Pecoraro- and Irmo) and four daughters (Vera -children Laura and Franco Bacoccoli-, Elsa, Diana, Wanda -child Maririca Oliva-); Josef also called Pepsch had no sons or daughters and died in Buenos Aires; Mathilde died young during World War 1.

Josefa Stranner, Johann's wife, was born in 1870 in Vienna. Interestingly, Josefa was the daughter of an Austrian architect. His father, Josef (5 March 1825 – 20 May 1884), who was born in Lieseregg in Kärnten (his parents were Michael Stranner and Elisabeth ver. Stranner geb. Tandl), was in fact "Baumeister und Architekt".

This is the list of the buildings Josef Stranner built in Vienna according to a research by Architekturzentrum Wien:
