Life
There is little biographical information about Ignaz Stahl. In a collection of 15 of his letters he is described as a popular actor, often mocked because of his good-naturedness and who has died completely penniless. In the Biographical Lexicon of the Kaiserthums Oesterreich (1856-1891) of Constant von Wurzbach he is described as:
- “[...] one of the most grotesque characters in stage life, who are disappearing more and more with the reforms of today's theater; without wanting to, often a source of inextinguishable cheerfulness and a person who is good at heart and, wherever he showed himself, popular ”.
Johann Nestroy wrote some roles for him in his works:
- the carpenter Hobelmann in The Evil Spirit Lumpazivagabundus (1833)
- the mealworm in Eulenspiegel or Schabernack over Schabernack (1835)
- the choleric brewer in The House of Temperaments (1837)
- the capitalist Uhu in Der Erbschleicher (1840)
- the beer silver bung in Der Talisman (1840)
- the spice grocer Zangler in a joke he wants to make himself (1842)
His grave is in the Sankt Marxer Friedhof (group 1) in Vienna-Landstrasse .
