Antonie Baumberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Antonie Baumberg (born April 24, 1857 in Linz as Antonia Anna Stadlbauer ; † April 15, 1902 in Vienna ; actually Antonie Kreiml ) was an Austrian writer .

Life

Antonie Baumberg, as she later called herself, grew up as the foster child of the landowner Franz Poizat in Baumgartenberg in Upper Austria . In 1879 she married the officer Arthur Kreiml, who soon left the army and worked for a time as an official on the Western Railway in Linz and Enns . He also gave up this post. Franz Poizat helped the couple to buy a small farm in Croatia , which should serve as a source of income, but the management was a failure. Poizat fell out with the couple and was ultimately considered missing . Antonie and Arthur Kreiml had to sell their estate and moved to Vienna in 1884.

It was there that Antonie Baumberg began sewing leotards for women. She managed to set up a small business and employ women. In 1888 she founded the women's charity in Donaufeld , which she headed until 1896. The jerseys went out of style recently and she had to stop production. Baumberg occasionally had its own dramatic read sketches in the circle and also to feature short prose works published when she decided, now money as a playwright to earn.

The Raimundtheater in Vienna performed one of their plays for the first time in 1897, the Posse Trab-Trab . It had moderate success. Baumberg was involved in women's networks such as the Association of Writers and Artists Vienna and the Association for Expanded Women's Education , to whose committees she was a member, but remained an outsider in the Vienna theater scene. She had her greatest success with audiences and critics with a love marriage . The dark, naturalistic drama was colored autobiographically. It premiered in 1899 at the Vienna Kaiserjubiläums-Stadttheater under the direction of Adam Müller-Guttenbrunn and was taken over by many other theaters, but failed in Munich . Müller-Guttenbrunn obliged Baumberg to offer every new piece to the Kaiserjubiläums-Stadttheater first. The theater had a decidedly anti-Semitic orientation and a corresponding regular audience, which rejected her folk play, Familie Bollmann , which was premiered in the same year . After this disaster, none of her other dramas became a success approaching a love marriage and Antonie Baumberg's financial situation continued to deteriorate.

In 1902, the German Volkstheater in Vienna accepted three of her short dramas that made up a theater evening, including Der Nachtwächter von Schlurn , which she had written together with the Swiss author Goswina von Berlepsch . Without Baumberg and Berlepsch's consent, the premiere was to take place in favor of the anti-Semitic German-Austrian writers' cooperative. As a result, large parts of the premiere audience gave their tickets back and the pieces were removed from the program prematurely after the second performance. When this was in the newspapers, Antonie Baumberg shot herself. She was 42 years old.

Baumberg was buried in the Vienna Central Cemetery , where a funerary monument was erected on the first anniversary of her death by the Vienna Association of Writers and Artists. Another three years later, Baumberggasse in Vienna-Donaufeld was named after her. The writer was already forgotten in the 1920s.
