The "Sterbewohnung" of Schubert, in Italian "dwelling of death," is the term used to refer to the apartment where Franz Schubert died on November 19, 1828, at the age of 31. It was located in Vienna, in the district of Wieden, in a building that no longer exists today. The room where Schubert lived and died was small and modest, reflecting his precarious economic and health conditions in his final years.The room was small and, according to the testimonies of the time, uncomfortable, reflecting Schubert's precarious financial situation and his illness. The apartment no longer exists, but its memory remains alive in the history of music, a symbol of Schubert's short but intense life and his artistic greatness.
