Gänsbacherstraße 5

other

The four-story building at Gänsbacherstraße five features a distinct corner oriel window that wraps toward the street. While the structure appears as a standard piece of residential history, it housed the Austrian composer Johann Nepomuk Hummel. Hummel was born here in seventeen seventy-eight, during a time when his father directed the Imperial School of Military Music. The building maintains its quiet residential function today, yet local records identify this specific address as the birthplace of the man who bridged the classical and romantic eras.
