Taborstraße
48, Vienna, 2nd district
 |
|
From 1880 –
in that year’s census the Schönberg’s were registered at the address
Taborstraße 48 – Arnold Schönberg attended the grade school at Kleine
Pfarrgasse 33, and from 1885 the I. & R. secondary school at Vereinsgasse.
On 29 April 1882 Schönberg’s brother Heinrich was born. The blossoming
economical liberalism that placed no working or housing restrictions
upon Jewish citizens brought with it in the second half of the 19th
century new perspectives for small businesses in Vienna. |
| In the "Trade
and Advertising Registry" Schönberg’s father Samuel was initially
listed as a "Maker of Shoe Products;" from 1886 he ran a commission
and bill-collecting agency at Kleine Pfarrgasse 31. After the death
of his father in 1889 Schönberg worked as an underling at the private
bank of Werner & Co. For a while he continued to live at Taborstraße
32 with his mother. In the following years the family frequently sought
new quarters, moving in 1892 to Große Stadtgutstraße 10 and in 1893
to Theresiengasse 5 (the following year renamed Adambergergasse). |
