Johann Rihosek (5 June 1869 - 21 November 1956) was an Austrian engineer and locomotive designer. Johann Rihosek was born in Maków Podhalański, Galicia, in modern-day Poland on 5 June 1869. He attended the middle school at Olmütz and later studied mechanical engineering at the Vienna Technical University. ==Career== In 1893 he took up his post as a design engineer with the Wiener Lokomotivfabrik Floridsdorf. From 1897 he worked in the ''Department for Locomotive and Coach Construction'' headed by Karl Gölsdorf within the Imperial Royal Railway Ministry. After Gölsdorf's death in 1916 Rihosek became his successor. The First World War and its consequences placed heavy demands on Rihosek, because the lack of materials led to problems in the manufacture of vehicles. Following the dividing up of the locomotive fleet to the new states formed from the breakup of the Austro-Hungarian empire, replacements had to be procured. This resulted in the emergence of the following classes: * ÖBB 156 (BBÖ 270) * ÖBB 58 (BBÖ 81) * ÖBB 95 (BBÖ 82) In 1924 Rihosek left the ministry (now called the ''Ministry for Trade and Transport'') and became an honorary lecturer for locomotive construction at the Vienna Technical University. In 1936 he became reader there and in 1944 received an honorary doctorate. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Johann Rihosek」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
