Literature on the Naschmarkt
The literature on the Naschmarkt was a cabaret on the Naschmarkt in Vienna .
history
The literature on the Naschmarkt emerged from the Association of Young Authors in Austria , whose chairman was Josef Pechacek . It was opened on November 3, 1933 in Café Dobner on Linke Wienzeile by the Hungarian journalist FW Stein, the bookseller Rudolf Weys, the pianist Otto Andreas and the director Martin Magner, who fled from Breslau to Vienna, with texts by Rudolf Weys and Harald Peter Gutherz .
From the beginning, the emphasis was placed on scenic texts, so that the literature on the Naschmarkt took on the character of a theater in contrast to the open-air cabaret Gooseberry , which was also founded a few months earlier by the Austrian Association of Young Authors . The Association of Young Authors was the legal entity, and FW Stein acted as director.
The central piece , which lasted 25 to 40 minutes on average, was developed as a characteristic form of presentation, which framed a numbered cabaret, which resulted in a break before and after, in which people could serve or cash in. The centerpieces could take up to an hour to complete. Weys wrote the first independent middle piece AEIOU or If Austria had won the war for the fifth program. In addition to Weys, the authors were Hans Weigel , Rudolf Spitz, Jura Soyfer , Lothar Metzl, Kurt Nachmann , Franz Paul, Friedrich Torberg and Peter Hammerschlag . In addition to arrangements and own pieces, one-act plays by Johann Nestroy and, in the program for the 1935/36 season, The Long Christmas Dinner by Thornton Wilder were played.
The actors included Carl Merz , Herbert Berghof , Hugo Gottschlich , Heidemarie Hatheyer , Hilde Krahl , Edith Berger, Franz Böheim , Walter Engel, Leon Epp , Benno Feldmann, Grete Heger , Peter Ihle , Manfred Inger , Lisl Kinast, Robert Klein-Lörk , Paul Lindenberg, Martin Miller, Adolf Müller-Reitzner, Kurt Nachmann , Peter Preses , Trude Reinisch, Gertie Sitte, Rudolf Steinboeck , Lisl Valetti , Walter Varndal , Gerda Waschinsky, Oskar Wegrostek , Susi Witt , Traute Witt, Hans Wlasak and Elisabeth Neumann . Even Fritz Grünbaum performed with political lyrics.
In the summers of 1934, 1936, and 1937 the ensemble went on tour through Austrian holiday resorts. In the 1936/37 season, the cabaret temporarily had three ensembles, one of which played in the parent company, while the other two were on tour through Czechoslovakia and Austria. By March 12, 1938, the literature on Naschmarkt had published 22 programs.
The Anschluss of Austria ended the activity. The day after the Wehrmacht invaded Austria, the members gathered in Café Dobner. It turned out that half of them had already been illegally members of the NSDAP . The ensemble broke up. Ensemble member Adolf Müller-Reitzner founded in 1939 an official cabaret, the Wiener Werkel , which was true to the line and existed until 1944 and then again in 1945/46.
