The restoration of the school on Karlsplatz in agreement with the Federal Monuments Office according to plans of its builder, the architect Theophil Hansen, was a concern of Vienna and the whole of Austria. A brand motif of this series is dedicated to the builder of the Protestant church. Theophil Hansen was born on July 13, 1813 in Copenhagen. He came to Vienna in 1846 and built there the Protestant church in Gumpendorf and as his largest work the arms museum of the Arsenal. These buildings still have a medieval style, but make the direction of the Renaissance easily recognizable; The chapel in the Protestant cemetery in Matzleinsdorf in Vienna seems almost Byzantine. After a brief stay in Athens from 1860 to 1861, he subsequently built the Protestant school at Karlsplatz, the Heinrichshof (now Opernringhof), the Musikvereinsgebäude, the Parliament and the Vienna Stock Exchange. From 1869 to 1884 Hansen was a professor at the Vienna Art Academy. He died on 17 February 1891 in Vienna.
