That Wikipedia page is utterly fascinating from start to finish.
The entire history of the Wittgenstein family is a long tragic winding story. Definitely can recommend the wiki of Wittgenstein: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_Wittgenstein

An interesting man, but with so many internal conflicts. His contribution to architecture and interior design is also notable: He was obsessed with details, making the perfect door handle.
Cross referencing another post elsewhere, Keynes took Wittgenstein on his honeymoon (Keynes btw, was a sex fiend and kept explicit erotic diaries) .. a decision which I think calls his sanity into question!

Fascinating. I knew Wittgenstein taught primary in the 20s, but never connected that with all the later Philosophical Investigations about language as a game, forms of life, intersubjectivity. Looks like that connection has been the object of recent scholarly attention: https://www.academia.edu/7913113/The_Philosophical_Investiga...
I heard that Wittgenstein was a beery swine Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel

More on this pivotal episode which seems to have sent Wittgenstein into (or been the culmination of a process leading to) a breakdown:
