Mizzi Langer-Kauba
Mizzi Langer-Kauba (born September 12, 1872 in Vienna ; † November 5, 1955 there ) was an Austrian athlete, alpinist and businesswoman.
Marie Langer, later mostly called Mizzi, was a Viennese bourgeois daughter who was very enthusiastic about sports. She was the only female participant in the first ski race (slalom) in 1905 in Lilienfeld . The Mizzi-Langer-Wand , a rock face used as a climbing garden in Rodaun , is named after her.
In July 1897 she married Franz Johann Kauba, who was two years her junior, and in 1906 at the latest, with him as authorized signatory, took over the first sports shop in Vienna, founded in 1896 on Kaiserstrasse. It is not entirely clear whether she took over this company from her father. The lavishly designed catalogs of the sports store were illustrated by Gustav Jahn .
