Biography

cf. Family sources & IKG-Wien Archives:

May 2013: According to a letter written by Hansi's daughter-in-law, Lola Waldstein,in Wien to Lisl Walk in Oxford, dated 18th. December 1976 (extracts of this are posted under her son; Fritz Waldstein's Profile under "Media"):

" ... Mutter Johanna, geborene Müller, 10.12.1885, in Budapest, gest. 22.11.1971 in Wien. ..." ( " ... mother, Johanna, née Müller, 10.12.1885, Budapest, died 22.11.1971 in Vienna ...")

JOHANNA WALDSTEIN [née MÜLLER] was born on 10th. December 1885, in Budapest.

Johanna became known as ‘Hansi’. Before 1936, when younger than 50, she was a wife of optician, k.u.k. in Wien.

Hansi died on 22nd. November 1971, aged about 86, in Wien. She was buried,on 30th. November 1971, in Wien, Zentralfriedhof T2/35f-3-2.

Note: N.B. buried in same grave as a certain Friedrich KÜNNETH (ca. 1843-1894) possibly another relation? (Burial).

Otto WALDSTEIN married Johanna WALDSTEIN (née MÜLLER]. They had one son: Fritz WALDSTEIN about 1905

cf. Lisl, née WALK's recollections: Lisl recalls with much nostalgia how she often used to pay a visit to the opticians premises with her mother when they went to Demel's. "Onkel Otto" was generally rather busy but "Tante Hansi" would enchant Lisl by sweetly giving her little gifts such as the collected sample bottles (N.B. launched in 1929) of "Soir de Paris" perfume.

cf. Lisl, née GUTH's recollections:

"Johanna WALDSTEIN who was my sister Lorli's (Lenore Johanna)godmother. She was originally from Bavaria but could tell anti-Nazi Viennese jokes better than anyone. My parents loved her. "
