LAND SALZBURG MOZART´S STAY Lofer Lofer is a small village 42 km south of Salzburg. At Mozart's time this was roughly the distance of a daily coach drive. Therefore, Mozart father and son arrived there on the the first evening of their first Italian journey and spent the night in the building which today hosts the Hotel Post. St. Gilgen The well known tourist-resort in Salzkammergut was home to three persons of formative influence on W.A Mozart's life – his grandfather lived & worked there, his mother was born there (Hüttenstein) and his sister Nannerl lived there. PLACES OF INTEREST Post Inn / Lofer Former house of the local judge of Lofer Johann Chrysostomus Wenzel von Helmreich zu Brunnfeld. The former district court / St. Gilgen The Prince Archbishop of Salzburg, Graf Anton von Harrach, charged Mozart's grandfather Wolfgang Nicolaus Pertl with building the old courthouse, a commission fulfilled between 1719 - 1720. From 1716 - 1724 he held the office of Rechtspfleger (local judge) in St. Gilgen. Mozart's mother, Anna Maria Walburga Pertl, was born there on 25 December 1720. In 1724, her father died and the family moved to Salzburg, where she married Leopold Mozart, a native of Augsburg, in 1747. In 1784, Mozart's beloved sister Maria Anna Ignatia, known as "Nannerl", and her husband move into the house where her mother had been born. "Nannerl" - herself a great musical talent - married a successor to her grandfather's office, the judge Johann Baptist Berchtold zu Sonnenburg. Nannerl lived in St. Gilgen until her husband's death in 1801. On the street side of the memorial house is a relief of Mozart's mother and Nannerl by the sculptor Jakob Gruber, which was unveiled in 1906.
