Born in 1868 near Munich, Germany, Carl Breitung studied architecture in Munich and Rome, and studied at Vienna's Polytechnic University. Their backgrounds set Breitung and Buchinger apart from their contemporary Seattle colleagues, most of whom were schooled on the East Coast or in England. At that time, many Seattle architects received no official education and learned the trade through apprenticeships.
In 1887, Buchinger traveled to the Puget Sound area, where he apprenticed in Seattle and Tacoma. Until 1904, the Austrian architect practiced as an assistant designer, as well as in partnership with established local architects. Among these were Willis A. Ritchie (1864-1931) and Paul Bergfeld.
