Austrian architect Josef Schilhab received an Honorable Mention for his work Isfos - Internationales Sportforum für Olympische Spiele together with Franz Peydl at the 1936 Berlin Olympics in the Art Competitions in the category Architecture, Designs For Town Planning. In 1935, the two architects won the first prize for the design of a national monument, which was not built after Austria’s “Anschluss”. In 1938 Schilhab was excluded from the Künstlerhaus Wien by the Nazis. After World War II he was mainly active in Wien (Vienna) and was involved in the design and construction of so-called “Gemeindehäuser” (municipal housing). In the Künstlerhaus he became a member of the “Committee for the clearing up of Nazi Affairs”, just like Otto Schönthal.
