In the summer of 1936, she successfully passed the school-leaving examination (Matura) at the Realgymnasium in Horn and then began studying at the University of Vienna. She was enrolled finally in the spring term 1938 at the Philosophical School in the 2nd year of her studies and took courses in Pre-History and Ethnology.
She could not continue with he studies after the "Anschluss".
Her father, Bruno Langbank, was regarded as "Jewish" in NS-definition, his wife Amalia Byloff as non-Jewish. They both moved from Horn to Vienna (district Mauer, Weindorfergasse 4) in 1938, together with their two adopted daughters, Anna Maria and Felicitas Byloff. Her father was not allowed any more to practice as a doctor for racist reason in July 1938. Her sister, Anna Maria Elisabeth BYLOFF-LANGBANK (born on November 10th, 1911 in Vienna) succeeded in finishing her studies in psychology and pedagogics on February 2nd, 1938, a few weeks before the "Anschluss" on March 12th, 1938 (dissertation: "Der oesterreichische Kinderhort. Entwicklung und Wandlungen von 1850-1934" [The development and changes of the Austrian day nursery ("Kinderhort") between 1850 to 1934]; examiners: Richard Meister and Karl Buehler) and became an educationalist.
