In 1899, he graduated from the Royal Polytechnical Institute in Budapest, with exceptional results, having been trained in mathematics, building houses, bridges, roads, railways, architecture and topography, therefore he was called a “universal engineer”. For nearly two years, until 1901, he worked in Hungary, harnessing the Balaton Lake, and later, until 1914, he had his own business, as a topographic engineer, in Reghin. During the First World War he was enrolled in the Austro-Hungarian Army, but in 1915, he ran away to Romania. He was enrolled in the Royal Romanian Army, and was involved in military information. After the war, he had a short political activity, but then he returned to his work as a topographic engineer. After the communist regime started, in 1945, his pension was stopped, and his house in Reghin was nationalized. Florea Bogdan was a Romanian patriot who didn’t hesitate to put his life in danger in order to achieve the national aim.
