Franz Schubert Birthplace - Vienna

Franz Schubert's birthplace is located on Nussdorfer Straße in Vienna, Austria.  It was here, on January 31, 1797, that the famed composer was born, the twelfth child of Franz Theodor Florian Schubert and Maria Elisabeth Katharina Vietz, in a first floor flat above the school where his father was a teacher.  Schubert spent the first four years of his life here, from 1797 to 1801, although the family had been occupying a room here since 1786.  The home was called "Zum roten Krebsen" (The Red Crab) and is located in the Viennese suburb of Himmelpfortgrund.  The original address was Obere Hauptstraße 42, then renumbered to 72, then renamed and renumbered Nusßdorfer Straße 54.  The home has been a museum since 1912.
