AustrianArtHistory/NovelResearch–Filter: I need to know the name of the wife of Austrian sculptor Johannes Benk (1844–1914).
In the course of researching my novel, I found a passing reference (in German) to Benk being the son-in-law of a fairly notorious Viennese brothel owner, Johanna Wolf. There's limited biographical information available about Wolf, and I've found nothing about her daughter. My ability to read German is limited, to put it kindly, so my research-fu has pretty much hit the wall.
At the very minimum, I would love to know Benk's wife's name and (if available) her birth/death dates.
For the sake of getting the details right, kann jemand mir helfen?
