Arthur Grünberger was an Austrian architect, painter and film set designer. He studied architecture from 1899 to 1905, followed by studies at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.
From around 1913, Grünberger worked as an independent architect in Vienna, designing residential buildings and villas. Among his most notable projects was the Hietzing Synagogue, for which he won an architectural competition in 1924 together with Adolf Jelletz.
Grünberger also contributed to the Vienna Werkbund Estate (Wiener Werkbundsiedlung), designed under the artistic direction of Josef Frank.
Towards the end of 1923, Grünberger emigrated to the United States, eventually settling in Los Angeles. There, he moved into the film industry and worked as a set designer, becoming Art Director at Warner Brothers.
Although his architectural career was relatively short, his contributions to interwar Vienna, particularly the Werkbund Estate, remain an important part of his legacy.
