Wolfgang's wife: Constanze Mozart (née Weber, 1762-1842) oil painting 1802. Mozart's Birthplace museum, Salzburg, Austria.

Constanze Mozart (née Weber, 1762-1842) oil painting by Hans Hansen in Vienna in 1802. Maria Constanze Cäcilia Josepha Johanna Aloysia Mozart was a trained Austrian singer. She was married twice, first to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; then to Georg Nikolaus von Nissen. She and Mozart had six children: Karl Thomas Mozart, Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart, and four others who died in infancy. She became Mozart's biographer jointly with her second husband. Since 1880, Mozart's Birthplace has exhibited the composer’s early life at Hagenauer Haus, No. 9 Getreidegasse, in Salzburg, Austria. Mozarts Geburtshaus is a wonderful pilgrimage site for Mozart fans and history buffs. The prolific Classical music composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart lived 1756–1791. Salzburg is the fourth-largest city in Austria and is renowned for its Baroque architecture, with one of the best-preserved city centers north of the Alps. The town is on the site of the Roman settlement of Iuvavum. Salzburg was founded as an episcopal see in 696 and became a seat of the archbishop in 798. Its main sources of income were salt extraction, trade, and gold mining. The fortress of Hohensalzburg, one of the largest medieval fortresses in Europe, dates from the 11th century. In 1600s, Salzburg became a center of the Counter-Reformation, with monasteries and numerous Baroque churches built. Salzburg's Altstadt, or old town, is honored by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Busy Altstadt centers on Getreidegasse, a narrow, pedestrian street with shops selling folk costumes and antiques.
