Richard Lugner, the renowned Austrian builder, was laid to rest at Grinzinger Cemetery after passing away in his Vienna villa on August 12. His funeral was attended by close family and friends, following a public farewell at St.

Stephen's Cathedral.

His widow, Simone Lugner, plans to return to work, continuing the legacy he left behind.

However, controversy surrounds his death, with friend Heribert Kasper criticizing the early hospital discharge after Lugner's heart surgery.

Kasper believes the decision was irresponsible, given Lugner's age and health conditions.

Despite the criticism, Lugner's family, including his daughter Jacqueline, is committed to preserving his life's work, particularly in the Lugner City shopping center.
