Early Life and Career

Theodor Körner was born on April 23, 1873, in Újszőny, Kingdom of Hungary (today part of Komárom, Hungary). He came from a military family and was the son of an officer of the Austro-Hungarian Army. Körner attended the military school in Hranice and graduated at the head of his class as a pioneer from the Imperial and Royal Technical Military Academy.

Military Career

Körner became a lieutenant in 1894 and served as an officer in Agram (today Zagreb, Croatia). He was promoted to major in 1904 and became a member of the Austrian staff. During World War I, he was an active commander on the Italian front. Körner resigned from his military career in 1924 as a General.

Politics and Later Life

Körner joined the social democrats and became a member of parliament in 1924. He served as Chairman of the Federal Council of Austria between December 1933 and February 1934. After the war, Körner became Mayor of Vienna in the newly erected Second Republic. He was responsible for rebuilding and reconstructing Vienna, which was heavily destroyed due to the bombing during the war.

Körner received several awards, including an Honorary Doctorate at the Vienna University of Technology (1945) and the Grand Cross special class of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany (1956). He was also awarded the title of Honorary Citizen of Vienna in 1948.
