Hello dear Mozart friends,
and welcome to my own website! I am very delighted about your finding your way to me.
Admittedly, I understand that without my famous cousin no one would care two hoots about me any more. However, since I kept all his letters at that time, of which some got unfortunately lost in the meantime - and I hope this is not to be hold against my great-nephews Karl Thomas and Franz Xaver Wolfgang - well, this way I got preserved for posterity. As I've heard though, only few of Wolfgang's countless admirers do know my story.

Anything
SPECIAL
this year?
- 280 years ago, Uncle Leopold sang for the first time as a little choirboy in the churches of St.Ulrich und Heilig Kreuz.
- Exactly 240 years ago, the royal bride of the French Dauphin, Archduchess Maria Antonia, the later Queen Marie Antoinette arrived in Augsburg on her way to Paris.
- 230 years ago, the first Mozart opera ever, "La Finta Giardiniera" was performed in Augsburg.
- Also 230 years ago, the future father of my daughter, Baron von Reibeld, joined the cathedral chapter.
- The same year and while Wolfgang and I were still corresponding, Karl Bernhard Feigele, my later admirer repeatedly visited my uncle's family in Salzburg .
- In October it is 220 years ago that Wolfgang arrived in Augsburg for the last time -on his way home from Frankfurt. Alas, without paying me a visit.
And now please, make yourselves comfortable and listen to my life story. In case there might be a short moment left at the end, I would be especially happy about a kind entry in my guestbook. By the way, a click on the pictures will offer you additional information or an enlargement.
Thank you very much.
And now - have fun!
Marianne Mozartin
