The couple Wilhelm Andreas Herdey and Lorle Herdey-von Savageri were architects living and working in Graz. Lorle taught at the University of Graz since 1945. Among other projects the couple rebuilt the hospitals of the ski resorts Kitzbühel and Schladming in the 1960s. They were also occupied with the planning and building of parts of the Technical University of Graz together with Raimund Lorenz. Both submitted their work for the 1948 Art Competitions in the section Architecture together, but the planned tennis courts on the west bank of the Leopoldskron pond in the area of the so-called Königswäldchen forest were not realized.
