Nannerl Mozart Home - Salzburg

Nannerl Mozart's home is on Universitatsplatz in Salzburg, Austria.  Born Maria Anna Mozart In Salzburg on July 30, 1751, she was the older sister of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.  She accompanied her brother on his several European tours and was considered an accomplished musician in her own right.  As she grew older, however, it became evident that as a woman she would not be allowed to pursue a music career, so she settled instead on home life.  On August 23, 1783 she married Johann Baptist Franz von Berchtold zu Sonnenburg.  She moved to St. Gilgen with her new husband and helped to raise his five motherless children.  Nannerl would eventually have three children of her own with Berchtold.  After her husband's death in 1801 Nannerl moved back to Salzburg where she was employed as a music teacher.  During the time she lived here she entertained two old family houseguests: Mozart's sister Constanze, whom she had not seen in nearly forty years, and Mozart's son Franz Xaver, whom she had never met.  The widowed Nannerl lived in this house from October of 1801 to her death on October 29, 1829.  There is a plaque marking her time here.
