'''Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach''' (1656 - 1723) was an [[Austrian]] [[Baroque]] period [[architect]]. Among his important projects are the Schönbrunn palace, 1690 - 1701, the Karlskirche, San Carlo Borromeo, Vienna, Austria, 1716 - 1737 and the Spanish Riding School, Vienna.
<blockquote>
Fischer von Erlach was responsible not only for designing the palace (of Schönbrunn); the construction work was also carried out under his immediate supervision. It was probably in connection with this huge and prestigious project that he was invested with the mark of nobility by Emperor Leopold, being subsequently known as Fischer von Erlach.
