Simandl is the joking name of a wife who henpecks her husband.
The legend tells that in 1528 in Krems lived Handl Simon who was beaten so much by his wife, that his name became the proverbial meaning.

Krems is a town of around 24,000 people in Austria and is approximately 70 kilometres (43 mi) west of Vienna.
