Josef Alois equal

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Josef Alois Gleich (born September 14, 1772 in Vienna ; † February 10, 1841 ibid) was an Austrian civil servant, theater poet and author of horror novels. He was a contemporary of Ferdinand Raimund , Johann Nestroy , Karl Meisl , Franz Xaver Tolds and Josef Kilian Schickh .

Life

He immediately received his schooling from the Piarists in Josefstadt (Vienna). In 1790, at the age of 18, he got a job in the state administration. Here he worked in the same office for forty years until 1830. Placed here at the age of 60, he took over court service.

During his professional life, Gleich wrote - on the side, so to speak - well over 100 novels and around 250 plays. With this literary work he became an important representative of the old Viennese folk theater . Together with Adolf Bäuerle and Karl Meisl , Gleich was one of the Big Three , who were only replaced by Ferdinand Raimund . By marrying his daughter, he not only became his son-in-law, Gleich encouraged him to the best of his ability and helped him to break through in the theater. In 1819 Raimund caused a theatrical scandal because he had abandoned his wedding to Gleich's daughter Louise, who was expecting a child from him. Her father pulled out all the stops to get the groom to make a new appointment. Raimund was forced to marry on April 8, 1820, and the audience enthusiastically celebrated the couple's first joint appearance after their wedding at the Leopoldstadt Theater as a victory for “morality”.

Immediately wrote almost exclusively for the theater in der Josefstadt and for the Leopoldstadt theater . Much of his work appeared under the pseudonyms Adolph Blum , Ludwig Dellarosa , Alois Kramer or H. Walden .

At the age of 69, Josef Alois died in Vienna on February 10, 1841, deeply in debt.

In 1960, the Gleichgasse in Vienna- Donaustadt (22nd district) was named after him.
