Sightseeing: Mozart House Vienna

February 11, 2007

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the largest music genius of Austria, is connected in the thoughts of many with its birth city Salzburg. But also in the imperial hometown Vienna he spent many years and died here at the age of only 35 years.

During his time in Vienna Wolfgang Mozart, as he usually called himself, moved more than 10 times. Mozart was a living man and the made money had usually disappeared soon again. In its best time he inhabited the Beletage of the cathedral lane (Domgasse) 5. This is the last received dwelling of Mozart. On the occasion of 250 the birthday – which is called Mozart year 2006 – in the cathedral lane 5 the Mozart house Vienna, a Museum with lots of information about Mozart, was opened.
