Life
Adele Neuhauser was born in Athens but moved at the age of four with her family from Greece to Vienna, where she grew up. Her mother left the family with Neuhauser's half-brother and Neuhauser and her brother stayed with their Greek father George. Later she grew up alone with him. At the age of ten she cut her wrist and until the age of twentyone she tried several times more to commit suicide. After separating from her husband, Neuhauser moved to Vienna. They have a son who is studyingjazz guitar in Graz. She likes to hike, mostly on her own. Neuhauser's grandparents from the Waldviertel were academic painters. Her brother, Peter Marquant, followed in their footsteps. The sgraffito on the Vienna Künstlerhaus have been created by her grandfather. Because her grandfather was of the opinion that there should be only one painter in the family, her grandmother turned to the production of tapestry, Punch figures and worked for the Wiener Werkstätten. Her great-grandmother, although not personally affected by the NSrace laws, went voluntarily with her Jewish husband to the concentration camp where both died.

In 2008 Neuhauser underwent a vocal cordsurgery due to deposits and a Reinke's edema on the vocal cords.
