Ida Schumacher (born March 5, 1894 in Arnstorf , Lower Bavaria as Ida Stömmer , † April 6, 1956 in Gauting ) was a Bavarian theater actress and comedian .

life and career

Born in Arnstorf in Lower Bavaria in 1894, Ida Stömmer was initially discovered at the age of thirteen for the choir of the Munich Art Theater. She later studied singing, but lost her voice in 1930 after a bad cold and developed vocal cord paralysis, the consequence of which was her later trademark, the hoarse, squashed voice. After several engagements at various theaters, she made an unprecedented late career as " Ratschkathl " from 1949 to 1956 and was successful as a popular actress at theaters in Nuremberg , Tegernsee and at the Platzl in Munich.

She is not only forgotten by the people of Munich as “Ratschkathl”, a stage character created by Elise Aulinger and perfected by Ida Schumacher. Her best-known figures also include the Oardandlerin (egg trader) and the tramway track cleaning lady (ode to the Rollwagerladmiral) .

As one of only six Munich folk actors and singers, a fountain monument, a bronze figure by Marlene Neubauer-Woerner , was erected in her honor in 1977 on the Viktualienmarkt . A street is named after her in her hometown Arnstorf.

She was buried in the forest cemetery in Munich / Alter Teil in grave no. 222-2-219.
