Adolf pl. Mošinsky (1843–1907) was a mayor of Zagreb from 1892 to 1904.[1] Being the head of the city for three consecutive terms, he set a record in mayoring length that still remains unbroken. One of his most important achievements was building the Zagreb sewer system from scratch and turning Medveščak stream into an underground canal. During his time as a mayor, Zagreb grew in size by 30 percent.[2] During Mošinsky's term in office, many Zagreb tourist sights and locations, such as the Croatian National Theater (HNK) were built.[2][3] Mošinsky also saw the introduction of the Zagreb taxi, being the first passenger of driver Tadija Bartolović in 1901.[4]
