Plischke, Ernst (Anton)
(b Klosterneuburg, nr Vienna, 26 June 1903). Austrian architect and writer. He received his earliest training from his father Anton (1875–1949), who was also an architect. In 1921 he entered the architecture course at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Vienna, where he studied with Oskar Strnad and Josef Frank. He subsequently attended the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Vienna as a student of Peter Behrens. In 1926, after winning the academy’s master prize, he was hired by Behrens to work in his private studio. He left Behrens’s atelier the following year and worked briefly for Josef Frank before moving to New York where he formed a partnership with American architect William Muschenheim (b 1902). When several promised projects failed to materialize, Plischke and Muschenheim dissolved the partnership and Plischke took a job as a draughtsman in the office of E.-J. Kahn.
