Vienna - Schubert Museum

 
On January 31, 1797, Franz Schubert was born in this little one-story house - "Zum roten Krebs" (The Red Crab) - in the Himmelpfort district. The city of Vienna owns this house and has been able to preserve Schubert's birthplace virtually unaltered. A Schubert Museum has been installed here, with musical scores, manuscripts, pictures and everyday objects used by the composer.

Not everything is entirely authentic, however, for when he was only four years old Schubert moved to a nearby house at Säulengasse 3, where he lived for the next 17 years. The house in which Schubert died is at Kettenbrückengasse 5, where there is also a memorial room.
Address: Schubert Museum, Nussdorferstrasse 54, A-1090 Vienna, Austria
