Schubert’s House of Birth
-
Franz Schubert was born in the kitchen of this little first-floor apartment, now a museum, on 31 January 1797 and spent the first four years of his life in the property, known locally as “House of the Red Crab”. The apartment, which is entered via a wooden balcony, had only one small room facing the street. The museum presents information on the composer’s life (see p58) as well as various portraits by Schubert’s contemporaries. The highlight of the exhibition, however, is Schubert’s famous spectacles.
