Gabriel von Seidl


Gabriel von Seidl was a German architect and a representative of the historicist style of architecture.

Gabriel Seidl was born in Munich, Bavaria in 1848. He was the first son of the wealthy baker Anton Seidl and his wife Therese, daughter of the wellknown brewer Gabriel Sedlmayr. Seidl initially studied mechanical engineering at the Polytechnic School in Munich. He worked as a mechanical engineer in England, where he found that his real talent lay in the field of architecture. Consequently, he began studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. His studies were interrupted during 18701871 due to his volunteer participation in the FrancoPrussian War. After an extended period of study in Rome, he opened an interior decoration studio in 1878.
