After the First World War, Gisela’s favorite brother, K.u.K. Rudolf Polz, a major in the Emperor’s army, joined his sister. Beloved by the ladies of the village, he taught them English, much as Gisela taught singing to the members of the church choir, which, to this day, is one of the best in the valley.  They were soon joined by their sister Elsa, famous theatre actress and gambler, who was accompanied by her personal coachman and cook. A colorful ménage!
