Curriculum Vitae
Pauline Magdalena Schiefthaler was born in Vienna's 19th district, where she attended elementary school and secondary school. She then attended the teacher training college in the same district and graduated in 1909. She passed her teaching exam in 1912, began working as a primary school teacher and witnessed the fall of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy in 1918. A devout Catholic, she was involved in the Marian Congregation.
She then taught at various Viennese elementary school until she became a teacher at the Kienmayergasse elementary school in Vienna's 13th district. In the 1930s, the opponent of National Socialism and staunch Austrian became involved in the Fatherland Front. In 1936, she was promoted to principal of the Kienmayergasse elementary school.
As such a head was a heavy burden for a National Socialist school system, she was dismissed from her post as head in March 1938 and retired upon request.
On October 12, 1939, Pauline Schiefthaler was employed by the municipality of Vienna, but resigned on February 25, 1942, after problems apparently arose with her superior.
Pauline Schiefthaler died unmarried and childless at the age of 76 and was laid to rest at Grinzing cemetery in Vienna's 19th district.
