Small town 16km (10 miles) southwest of Vienna.

Perchtoldsdorf is a market town southwest of Vienna, today just outside the city boundary, and adjacent to the suburb of Mödling and south of the Vienna Woods. By the middle of the 19th century it was linked to Vienna by the Austrian Southern Railway.

Musically, Hugo Wolf (1860–1903) lived there in his later years; Franz Schmidt (1874–1939) lived there also. In 1927, Dr. Oskar Mautner founded his Waldsanatorium (Forest Sanatorium) at Sonnbergstraße 93.

Perchtoldsdorf and Schenker

In 1920 (diary, April 5), Schenker’s elder brother Wilhelm was in Perchtoldsdorf, apparently recuperating. Schenker’s former pupil Karl von Klobassa was at the Waldsanatorium in May 1930, as in July 1939 was Schenker’s widow Jeanette (OJ 12/4, [11], OJ 14/7, [1], the latter from her son Felix Kornfeld).
