Description
-
In 1888 Isidor Mautner (1852–1930), owner of the textile factory in Marienthal, Lower Austria, and his wife Jenny (née Neumann, 1856–1938) became the fifth owners of the Geymüllerschlössel when he bought it for his wife as a birthday gift. It is thanks to her engagement that the Geymüllerschlössel evolved into the weekly summer meeting place of the Viennese moneyed aristocracy and the sophisticated high nobility.
The etching of Isidor Mautner is by the photographer and graphic artist Ferdinand Schmutzer (1870–1928), who became famous for his portraits of Rudolf von Alt, Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, Richard Strauss, and other personalities. Schmutzer was a frequent guest of the Sunday “jours” at the Geymüllerschlössel. Besides the portrait of Isidor Mautner in later years, Schmutzer also documented the family’s life with photographs taken between 1905 and 1920 at the Geymüllerschlössel and the family residence in Gössl at the Grundlsee lake in Styria.
