Originally posted by @wolfgang59My source has Hitler and Freud and three others living in Vienna in a specific year prior to WWI. If you have Klimt, Mahler and Strauss there in that time, you are the winner as far as I am concerned. ID-ing the specific year would be a simple if tedious exercise.
Hitler, Freud, Klimt, Mahler, Strauss - Vienna, Austria, Early 20th Century.
The three others I have are
Stalin, Tito and Trotsky

Klimt painted "The Kiss" in Vienna (1907-1908)
Strauss was a punt.
Richard Strauss was based in Germany. I hope he visited Vienna pre-war!
