Rudolf Schrödinger was born in 1857 in Vienna. He had inherited a linoleum factory from his father, which supplied his income, but he longed to be a botanist. He also published several papers on zoology.
In 1886 Rudolf married Georgine Bauer, whose father Alexander had been Rudolf's professor at the Technical University. A year later their son Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Schrödinger was born, their only child.
Rudolf died in 1919, Zentralfriedhof 2. Tor, 13b-1-8

About Rudolf Schrödinger
Rudolf Schrödinger, Erwin Schrödinger's father, is often referred to in the literature as an "oilcloth manufacturer" throughout his life. However - according to an anecdote or a comment from his son Erwin Schrödinger - Rudolf Schrödinger did not see himself as a stereotypical "manufacturer", although the oilcloth factory was quite successful and in the past growth in production volume or location size in Vienna "Erdberg" (3rd district "Landstrasse").

Rudolf Schrödinger turned to the arts and the collection of objects that were artistically significant at the time - following a certain intellectual trend at the time before 1900 - and saw his task and passion in this too. He also devoted himself to painting. There is a portrait of Rudolf Schrödinger painted (? In oil) that he may have made himself.

Another focus of interest that was very important for Rudolf Schrödinger was the scientific examination of botanical issues. There are, for example, the following scientific publications (see the list of publications below):

Married to Georgie nee Bauer, daughter of Dr. Alexander Bauer, since August 16, 1886.

Rudolf Schrödinger attended the Oberrealschule in Vienna-Erdberg and then began studying chemistry at the k. k. Technical University, where he also attended lectures from his future father-in-law Alexander Bauer. He inherited a prosperous linoleum and oilcloth manufacture from his father, the income from which enabled him to achieve a financially and socially elevated position. However, he did not see himself as a mere "manufacturer"; Rather, he was a culture-conscious person who was interested in the fine arts and especially in graphics and painting, which he also practiced himself.

Of greater importance for the development of his son Erwin, however, was Rudolf's inclination towards the natural sciences - e.g. his work as an amateur botanist, as evidenced by two publications from 1909 and 1914. At the age of 50 he decided to enroll at the University of Vienna, where he attended lectures with Friedrich Vierhapper, among others. Erwin Schrödinger acknowledges this with the following words *:

Schrödinger family: Georgine, Rudolf and Erwin »I am grateful to my father for far more than that he gave us an extremely comfortable life and enabled me to have an excellent upbringing and a carefree university education [...] He was a child for his growing son Friend, teacher and tireless interlocutor, the court of appeal for anything that could seriously interest his son. "

Rudolf Schrödinger died in the difficult post-war period in 1921, after the factory had been closed in 1917 and the economic crisis had caught up with the family. As a young scientist, Erwin earned far too little to be able to support his wife and parents adequately, and the death of his sick father on December 24th later made him feel guilty and caused bitter reminiscences *:

"So Christmas is a festival for me that I don't like, from which I don't expect anything good and which reminds me more than any other of missed duties.
