history

Since the economic conditions for musicians were poor in the 1930s, some theater musicians from the Linz State Theater also played entertainment and brass music at public festivals as additional income. In 1934 a separate chapel was founded in Linz for this purpose under the direction of Franz Ernstreiter, who was soon engaged in Munich . Heinrich Schramm became his successor. The first public appearance followed on a Danube ship to Passau , which was also broadcast by RAVAG , which made the group known. Numerous appearances by the Linzer Buam at folk festivals in Kleinmünchen , Linzer Urfahraner Markt , Welser Volksfest , Klagenfurt and Laibach followed .

In 1938 the Linzer Buam were so famous that they made music live in the Funkhaus Wien , which was broadcast on all German-speaking channels. The group was disbanded during World War II . Some musicians as well as the conductor Heinrich Schramm perished.

In 1948 the chapel was re-established by Fritz Schramm, the brother of Heinrich Schramm, as the original Linzer Buam . From 1950 Karl Reischl was Kapellmeister. Robert Thaller and Edi Matzer, who played along as early as 1934, founded their own band called Linzer Buam , which also played big band music. The group's arrangers and composers included Emil Rameis , Werner Brüggemann , Oswald Pöstinger and Franz Kinzl (the latter composed a beer opera especially for the Linz Buam). From 1951 to 1967 the singer Annemarie Leitner was engaged, who wrote some songs herself (e.g. I am a Upper Austrian and A resche Linzerin ). Numerous international appearances followed, including at the Olympic Games in Rome , with Pope John XXIII. and in the USA. In the 1980s there were five different Buam formations from Linz. After Thaller's death in 1982, Sigi Moherndl took over the management.

The Linz Buam mainly played brass music, folk music and hits . The group existed for over 60 years before disbanding in 1997. They played at numerous events at home and abroad.
