Maria von Peteani (2 February 1888 – 28 July 1960) was an Austrian writer. She was born in Prague, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but moved to Linz at the age of two. From 1920 onwards von Peteani wrote around twenty novels, the best known of them being The Page from the Dalmasse Hotel. It was later adapted into a 1933 film starring Dolly Haas.[1] Two other films were made of her works. Following the Anschluss she was banned from further writing by the Nazis, but was able to resume her career in 1945.
