Accoridng to Musgrave Paul moved out to in Berlin in 1921 and only returned to Vienna in 1933 when the Nazis took control. However, having studied the Berlin address books, I believe that Paul and Gisela actually moved to Berlin in 1929 and lived at Am Park 11 in Schoneburg before moving back to Vienna in 1935.

Gisela Frisch is listed as living at Türkenstraße 17 in 1940. Her daughter Liselotte Frisch gave the same address on her US emigration card in 1946. It is also the address Musgrave gives for Gisela’s correspondence from Vienna in 1940 and 1941 and her address in 1963 when the property on Belziger was sold. However neither of them are listed at the address in 1941 or 1942.
