When I lived in what was West Germany in the late ‘80s, my job allowed me to travel frequently throughout Western Europe. I learned that you can’t go to Salzburg, Austria without running into something Mozart related.
The house where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born was built in the 12th century. The family lived in an apartment on the third floor.
The building is now a museum and there are more sites honoring his talent throughout the city. It seemed that the public wanted to get in on the action too because I found no less than six other houses in the city that sported a historical marker reading Mozart Geburtshaus (Mozart’s Birthplace) which, like “Bill Clinton slept here,” was a very popular sign.
