Paula von Preradovic

Paula had (at least) two sons, whose names escape me at the moment, but which should be readily available to you. One became a prominent newspaper correspondent and editor, the other a prominent banker. At an economic conference I attended in Austria about 25 years ago, the banker told a story about his mother: In addition to writing the current Austrian national hymn, "Land der Berge, Land am Strome", she composed a satirical version, for the amusement of her children. As far as I can remember, it went something like this,

    "Land der Erbsen, Land der Bohnen,
    Land der vier allierten Zonen,
    Wir verkaufen Dich im Schleich,
    Viel geliebtes Oesterreich!"

Good luck with your editing!
