Beethoven Message

I have indeed read your call for help.

08 January 2026 | Frank Wallburger (Reiseleiter) an Ludwig van Beethoven

Highly esteemed Mr. Beethoven,

I have indeed read your call for help. The name Beethoven is known to almost every inhabitant of the Earth today, and no matter where you are on the five continents, you can assume that your music is being heard. But that you have been breathing air again for a few days is known to not even 50 people.

You must also know that I was probably the only recipient of your call for help. It is not possible for me to explain all this to you from afar. In today's world, news spreads differently and, above all, within seconds around the entire globe.

If you wish, I will come to Vienna for a few days, because I can help you better there. It may surprise you, of course – a trip from Dresden to Vienna takes less than half a day. Where can I find you in Vienna? Where and how do you actually spend the night?

Yours, Frank Wallburger
