Mathilde Martens (1834-1911)
Mathilde Martens was born in 1834 at Schloss Kellerberg near Villach. She grew up in an artistically active family. Her own work as a painter gradually established her, especially after 1870. Mathilde Martens was an unconventional woman for her time. From 1876 she earned a living for herself and her children as a restorer in Vienna (see Schmidt, Alexandra (2014). "An energetic woman and proficient portrait painter ..." Mathilde Martens. In A. Schmidt (Hg.), Drautöchter (2014) (S. 75-79), Klagenfurt/Celovec: Johannes Heyn Verlag.)

From there she came to Auschwitz in 1942, where she was murdered on 16 October (see Rettl, Lisa, Schmidt, Alexandra (2014). "You can hardly imagine my despair ..." Maria Gornik. In A. Schmidt (Hg.), Drautöchter (2014) (S. 194-205), Klagenfurt/Celovec: Johannes Heyn Verlag.)

Gertrude Gabler (1923-2012)
Gertrude Gabler was one of the first women in Villach to receive training in civil engineering. She first attended the commercial school, but later became enthusiastic about the construction industry. Her education and work situation was difficult because she had to struggle with prejudice as a woman in this male domain (see Schmidt, Alexandra (2014). "Once prove that you can!" Gertrude Gabler. In A. Schmidt (Hg.), Drautöchter (2014) (S. 169-171), Klagenfurt/Celovec: Johannes Heyn Verlag.)

The reviews for her work were largely positive. In April 1908, she ended her work as a theater director because she could not agree with the municipalities on the contract (Schmidt, Alexandra (2014). "The favor of the audience is changeable ..." Women in the theater. In A. Schmidt (Hg.), Drautöchter (2014) (S. 149-154), Klagenfurt/Celovec: Johannes Heyn Verlag.)
