Sažetak

Carl Ritter von Ghega was proclaimed 2018 Surveyor of the Year on 21 March 2018. In this paper, we explore how this Austrian of Albanian extraction, born in Venice, played an important role in geodesy and the surveying profession and the honours he got up to the present day. We investigate his background and details of his professional path, education and most important contributions in the areas of surveying and engineering at large. We describe his most significant achievement, that is, the Semmering Railway, which was dismissed at the time as impossible to achieve. In 1998, the Semmering Railway was inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Apart from this project, which left a great impression on the engineering profession, von Ghega also developed the Borovnica Viaduct built in the mid-19th century in Slovenia.; Carl Ritter von Ghega 21. ožujka 2018. proglašen je geodetom godine 2018. U ovome se radu elaborira čime je Austrijanac albanskih korijena, rođen u Veneciji, zadužio geodete i geodetsku struku te prema tome koje su mu sve počasti do danas dodijeljene. Istražuje se njegovo porijeklo te detaljno njegov profesionalni put, obrazovanje i najznačajniji doprinosi u području geodezije i inženjerstva uopće. Opisuje se njegovo najznačajnije postignuće – tzv. projekt Semerinške željeznice za koji se u to vrijeme vjerovalo da ga nije moguće realizirati. Semerinška je željeznica 1998. uvrštena na UNESCO-ov popis mjesta svjetske baštine. Osim projekta Semerinške željeznice kojim je zadužio inženjersku struku, elaborira se i vijadukt Borovnica koji je sagrađen sredinom 19. stoljeća u dolini Borovnica u Sloveniji.
