Deutschordenskirche - Vienna

The Deutschordenskirche, or The Church of the Teutonic Order, is located on Singerstraße in Vienna, Austria.  The Gothic church was built sometime between 1326 and 1375 and consecrated to St. Elisabeth of Hungary.  It is the primary church of the Teutonic Order.  Attached to the church is the Deutschordenshaus, which was built in the mid-1660's as a headquarter for the Teutonic Knights.  This was the first home Mozart knew in Vienna.  He moved here in March, 1781, shortly after his resignation of service in Salzburg.  He lived here until May, 1781, when he was kicked out by the Archbishop of Salzburg for performing a concert against the Archbishop's wishes.  Johannes Brahms is reported to have lived in the top floor of the house from 1863 to 1865.  The Deutschordenshaus is one of only three homes still standing in Vienna where Mozart lived, and there is a memorial to him in the forecourt.
