Commemorative plaque for Franz Mozart in Augsburg

The son of bricklayer David Mozart [de] (1621–1685), Franz worked as a master mason and lived in the Fuggerei beginning in 1681. He was born in Augsburg and died there. A commemorative plaque at his house there, Mittlere Gasse Nr. 14, commemorates him today.

Franz Mozart is not to be confused with his great-great-grandson Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart, the youngest son of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
