The Schönbrunn Incident File — Court Record (1777)
Official Report · English
A curious document from the imperial archives
In 1777, something went wrong at Schönbrunn.
Not disastrously wrong.
Not catastrophically wrong.
But administratively wrong — which, in an imperial palace, is often worse.
This document presents the official court record of that incident:
a meticulous attempt by clerks, footmen, and other very serious people to explain why
- three children were being discussed in hushed tones,
- a gardener’s apprentice could not be located,
- and Mozart refused to stop whistling during a formal inquiry.
Written in the language of order, authority, and tidy conclusions, the record does its best to sound calm.
It does not succeed.
What you’ll find
- A formally written court report dated 1777
- Testimonies that raise more questions than they answer
- Marginal logic strained by something it cannot quite name
- The unmistakable feeling that time has slipped sideways
A second record of the same incident exists.
It was filed in the same year.
It is… stranger.
