Anton von Klesheim, lithograph by Leopold Fischer , 1845

Anton Freiherr von Klesheim (born February 9, 1812 in Peterwardein , † July 6, 1884 in Baden in Lower Austria) was an Austrian poet and actor. He also wrote under the pseudonym Anton Platzer .

Klesheim, the son of an Imperial and Royal captain, was originally an actor. Due to his appearance, however, he withdrew from acting and turned to writing. He wrote numerous occasional pieces that were played not only in Vienna, but also in Pressburg and Ofen .

At times he still tried it as an actor in the theater in der Josefstadt . He was successful with lectures on dialect reading in the upper classes. On his 70th birthday, he gave his 1000th lecture.

Some of his songs became popular:

• When Mailüfterl waht (Melody: Josef Kreipl )
• A Dirnderl is about wood in the forest
• I got a ringal kriagt
• From the wandering of the Bua

Anton Freiherr von Klesheim was buried to rest on July 8, 1884 in the city cemetery (grave location 13/1/55) Baden near Vienna .

Honors

In 1904 the Klesheimgasse in Vienna- Josefstadt (8th district) was named after him.
