Johanna Karolina (Franziska) von Trapp (7 September 1919 – 25 November 1994) was the sixth child of Georg Ritter von Trapp and his first wife, Agathe (née Whitehead). She was a member of the Trapp Family Singers, whose lives were the inspiration for the play and film The Sound of Music. She was portrayed as the character "Marta".
Johanna was born on September 7, 1919 at the "Erlhof" by Zell am See in Austria, as the fourth daughter of Georg and Agathe von Trapp and first child after World War I. She had brown hair and brown eyes, and grew up in Zell am See with her siblings: Rupert (1911–1992) Agathe (1913–2010), Maria Franziska (1914–2014), Werner (1915–2007) and Hedwig (1917–1972). The last child, Martina (1921–1951), was born in Klosterneuburg by Wien (Austria). During the war (WWI) Georg, Agathe and their children, unable to stay at their home in Pola, Istria (today Croatia) came to live with her mother, Agathe Whitehead (née Breunner-Enkevoirth), at Whitehead summer home, the "Erlhof" (by Zell am See).The family then moved from Zell-am-See to Klosterneuburg, because their home, a lakeside hotel called "Kitzsteinhorn", became flooded and was no longer inhabitable. In 1922, when Johanna was three years old, her mother died of scarlet fever. Many years later she still recalled looking out the children's nursery window to see a black coach drawn by black horses come to carry her mother to her final resting place in Klosterneuburg. Her childhood was structured by nannies and spent playing with her younger sisters, while the older siblings were going to school. In 1925 Georg moved the family to Salzburg-Aigen. He had purchased and rebuilt a house that now became their new home. In 1927, Georg Johannes von Trapp was married for the second time to Maria Augusta Kutschera. Three more children were born into the von Trapp family: Rosemarie (1929), Eleonore (1931), and Johannes (1939).
