Footnotes1 This probably concerns Hans Wolf’s absence from the Friday analysis seminar in order to attend his parents’ silver wedding anniversary in Lucerne; see the diary entry for April 19, and for April 30 (recording his return to Vienna). 2 In January 1934 Hoboken had bought a plot of land in Vienna, on which to build a house; see the diary entries for January 6, 8, 9 and 13, 1934. 3 Possibly Heinrich Schmid (1885–1949), a pupil of Otto Wagner, who designed numerous buildings for the city of Vienna during the interwar period. |
