Carl Hutterstrasser

Carl Hutterstrasser (11 June 1863 – 29 March 1942) was an Austrian piano manufacturer, owner of the company Bösendorfer.

After the demolition in 1913 of Palais Liechtenstein, Herrengasse [de] where the company's sales room and the associated concert venue Bösendorfer-Saal were situated, a new sales room, the Bösendorfer Stadtsalon, was opened at the Musikverein in Vienna.

In 1931 his two sons Alexander and Wolfgang became partners in the business, and they took over on their father's death in 1942.

[1][3] From 1910 he was a director of Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna, and until 1938 was its financial adviser.
