[1] In this villa, Josephine von Wertheimstein and her daughter Franziska held their literary salons.
[2] The industrialist Rudolf von Arthaber acquired the house in 1833, which had been the property of the Tullnerhof monastery.
After Arthabers' death in 1867 and the auction of his collection, Leopold von Wertheimstein, banker for the Rothschild family, and his wife Josephine bought the house in 1870.
The poet Ferdinand von Saar, in love with Franziska, maintained an abundant correspondence with them over three decades.
In 1908, Franziska von Wertheimstein bequeathed the house and the park next to it to the city of Vienna.
