Gabriel Gailler

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gabriel Gailler (* 1838 in Obertraubing ; † 1917 in Berchtesgaden ) was a Bavarian ventriloquist and marionette player .

Gailler had his own puppet theater, the basis of which had been three large puppets that he had received from an innkeeper. He expanded this stock in an impressive way. He went on tour with his theater in southeast Bavaria and staged both classical plays and current events. So he brought z. B. the financial scandal surrounding the speculator and fraudster Adele Spitzeder on the stage, which took place in Munich in 1873 . In 1906 he gave up his wandering life and sold his theater in Berchtesgaden to Ludwig Walch. The puppet theater was in use there until 1936. Today Gailler's marionettes are in the Berchtesgaden Local History Museum .
