Beethoven and Vienna Woods

Yes , ( and I've never seen this query arise !! } Here is a google map , and find Beethovengang and Zahnradbahnstrasse ( they are parallel to one another ) In between , if you enlarge the map , you will find the Schreiberbach ( writer's brook ) While I can't provide a historically definitive answer , it is highly likely that this is the area that Beethoven describes in the second movement of the Sixth Symphony ( Scene by the Brook ) In the area is Probusgasse 6 , now the Beethoven Museum where Beetoven lived for a time . St Michael's Church is around the corner. It was here that Beethoven realized the worsening deterioration of his hearing. Looking out of the window of his room , he saw the church bells tolling , but could not hear them . As I understand this , it was that experience that prompted his writing of The Heiligenstadt Testament . He spent considerable time in the area in and around Grinzing , wandering in The Wienerwald . While he is buried in The Zentralfriedhof , the cemetery in Grinzing is the resting place of Gustav Mahler . As well , his wife Alma is quite near his grave ,interred with her daughter Manon , by her lover Walter Gropius , The Bauhaus architect .
