On stair 4 there are rooms for the Catholic Education Office, the Orthodox Education Office and the CPH Vienna / Krems Center for Further Education .
History of the property
Around 1222 the Teutonic Knight Order settled in its current location . The Grand Masters of the Order were archdukes of Austria for centuries .
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart , then 25 years old, lived in the house with the entourage of Salzburg Prince Archbishop Count Colloredo from March 18, 1781 and was rudely restored a few weeks later, on May 2, by the Archbishop's Chief Kitchen Master Karl Graf Arco with the legendary kick "Asked out". From 1863 to 1865 Johannes Brahms lived on the top floor of the house.
The Teutonic Order House has been the seat of the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order since 1809 and contains the publicly accessible treasury of the Teutonic Order , where, among other things, the order's insignia are displayed. The historically significant General Archive of the Teutonic Order is also housed here.
There is also a guest house in the Teutonic Order House.
