Max David Explained

Max (Maximilian) David (7 December 1859 in Starý Jičín – ?) was a Moravian-German engineer.

David graduated from Technical College in Brno, which he attended twice – from 1877 to 1879 and then from 1880 to 1883. David initially worked as assistant lecturer at the Technical College in Brno, and then for a number of firms in Czechoslovakia. He worked in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 21 May 1890 in Mostar District and stayed there until 1907 when he moved to Tuzla.^{[1] [2]}

David's name (in the role of designer) is associated with Mostar's Bishop’s Ordinariate palace, District Court building (1891-1892), and an extension to the Girls' School of the Sisters of Mercy in Mostar, 1903.^[3]
