His staging of Die Fledermaus at the Bavarian State Opera in Munich in 1997 was just as scandalous as his prevented Peter Pan staging at the Wiener Festwochen .

In 2009 he directed the retired comedy Dinosaurier, inspired by Bernhard Sinkel's Lina Braake - You look old against us! with Ezard Haußmann , Eva-Maria Hagen , Ingrid van Bergen , Ralf Wolter , Walter Giller and Nadja Tiller .

In 2011 Haußmann's film Hotel Lux was released , in which Michael Herbig , Jürgen Vogel , Sebastian Blomberg and Thekla Reuten can be seen, among others . The film is based on a draft script by Uwe Timm .

In 2017 the film adaptation of the bestseller Das Pubertier by Jan Weiler came into the cinemas. In this context, Haussmann also announced his temporary withdrawal from the theater.

At the end of 2018, his play Staatssicherheitstheater premiered at the Volksbühne in Berlin .
