Life: Reinhold Körner attended the Schottengymnasium in Vienna from 1813 and then worked as his father Reinhold Körner, who died early, and like his stepfather Alois Kapler as a merchant in Linz (spice, material and paint dealer).

Körner's father bought the Linz houses at Hofgasse 1 and Hofgasse 3 in 1803, and Körner himself also purchased the house at Hauptplatz 16 in 1841.

Körner appointed the first freely elected Linz municipal council on January 30th. July 1848 to the provisional community board, on July 11th. In August 1858 he was confirmed as mayor of Linz. After Emperor Franz Joseph I, by means of a resolution of 19. In February 1854, Körner ordered the local elections to be postponed indefinitely (until a new municipal law came into force), Körner, on the 10th, under the pretext that his eyesight was becoming increasingly weaker and that he had to go on urgent business trips. Resigned from office in March 1854.

After a forced break of around ten years, in January 1861 the population of Linz was again allowed to decide on the composition of the city parliament, with the popular former mayor Reinhold Körner being re-elected. With regard to the supplementary elections to be held annually, Körner announced on January 1st. In March 1867 it was announced that he would have to resign from his functions as mayor and local councilor because of his poor health. In the first legislative period he was a member of the House of Representatives from 1863 to 1865.

Appreciation: In 1903, Körnerstrasse in Linz was named after him.

Story

Public monastery school: The monastery's former monastery school, which is under monument protection, has been a “school for the public” since 1549 and has also been run as an imperial-royal monastery since 1804. In the period 1800–1873 the institution had a total of around 3,120 students. Today's high school building was built in 1891 by the architect Hermann Krackowizer. From 1906 onwards, a boys' choir institute was integrated into the Konvikt with the museum. From 1938 to 1945, the high school and boarding school were temporarily run as a Nazi high school and a Nazi student home. Since 1990, girls and external driving students have been admitted to the former boys' boarding school for the first time. The Konvikt attached to the school was closed in 2013 after more than 200 years due to insufficient capacity and has continued to operate as a day care center ever since. Since 2016 it has also housed special teaching rooms such as a physics room, biology room and drawing rooms. As part of this renovation, an underground connection to the school building and a new gymnasium were built.
