Engelmann studied at the
Vienna University of Technology, specializing in railway engineering. He built the Kraftwerk Wienerbruck
power station, the Landessiechenanstalt Oberhollabrunn hospital, and was manager of the
Niederösterreichischen Eisenbahnamtes (Lower Austrian Railway office) of the
Mariazellerbahn. In 1909, he built the first ever artificial
ice rink on land, which was established as an ice rink by his father
Eduard Engelmann Sr., in the
Hernals district of Vienna. In 1912, he built, in Vienna's Heumarkt district, what was at the time the largest artificial ice rink in Europe. The rink was improved on in later years; in 1932, the ice rink covered 3,000 square meters. He built another rink in
Budapest in 1922. In 1944, shortly after his death, the rink he built in Vienna-Hernals was bombed and totally destroyed. It was rebuilt after
World War II and reopened in 1946; today, the location holds a supermarket, which, since 1974, has had an artificial ice rink attached. == Other ==
