Verein zur Speisung und Bekleidung hungernder Schulkinder in Wien (Association for Feeding and Clothing Schoolchildren in Vienna). Organization founded in 1912 by Betty Kolm:
A „Verein zur Speisung hungernder Schulkinder in Wien“ was discussed three years before this founding date, in the Zentralblatt des Bundes österreichischer Frauenvereine, 4/2 (1909) [website: http://www.onb.ac.at/ariadne/vfb/02guibund.htm]. S was himself indirectly involved with this organization through his association with his pupil and benefactress Sophie Deutsch. Deutsch died in 1917, and evidently left a large legacy to the Verein with the stipulation that a portion of the annual yield be dedicated to the creation of two stipends a year for impecunious skilled composers and composition pupils, the choice of recipients to be made exclusively by Schenker: see OJ 12/31, [1] and [2], December 7, 1917 and July 1, 1924 (Ernst Lamberg to S), and mentioned also as the “Verein zur Ausspeisung armer Schulkinder” in OJ 5/25, [1], S to Josef Marx, October/December 1924. (Schenker mentions Anka Bienerth in his letter to Hertzka (UE), WSLB 233, December 20, 1914.) This organization is mentioned in the following letters: WSLB 233, December 20, 1914 (Schenker to Hertzka) OJ 12/31, [1], December 7, 1923 (Lamberg to Schenker) OJ 15/31, [1], January 31, 1924 (Wunsch to Schenker) OJ 12/31, [2], July 1, 1924 (Lamberg to Schenker) OJ 5/24, July 8, 1924 (Schenker to Lamberg, draft |
