==Biography==
He was the first born son of the painter [[Josef Moroder Lusenberg]] and the Felizita Unterplatzer in Ortisei in Val Gardena. He learned how to sculpt in his father's workshop. His two sons, Viktor and Bruno, were also trained as sculptors in his workshop in Ortisei. During the First World War, he was sent to Galicia to the Russian front, like many Tyrolean firefighters.<ref>Mathias Frei Die Bildersammlung aus dem Bozner Batzenhäusl. Kuratorium Schloss Prösels.

His sculpting style was mainly focused on the creation of sacred art and for church equipment. Moroder married Runggaldier Genoveva on October 11, 1904.<ref>Cirillo Dell’Antonio: Artisti ladini 1580–1939.
