Why "Austrian"?[edit]

How did the opening get its name? I cannot figure it out. Would be a good thing to add to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.36.151.130 (talk) 05:22, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Known since the game Tarrasch–Charousek, Nuremberg 1896, this line was developed by the Viennese players Hans Müller (1896–1971) and [Andreas] Dückstein [1927– ].
