Live and act

Born in Ulm, she came to Vienna at a young age and stayed there her entire artistic life. Paula Pfluger completed her training in the late 1920s at the Academy for Music and Performing Artsand initially worked in the last silent films in Austria. The Viennese by choice brought her first permanent engagement to the theater in the 1933/34 season at the Österreichische Städtebundtheater Wien. Her long-standing artistic home, however, was to be the Volkstheater of the Austrian capital, where it - initially trading as the Deutsches Volkstheater - from the 1938/39 season to the last Reich German season in 1943/44 and after the war, now as a Volkstheater, for the first time again in 1950 and worked regularly from the season 1952/53. In the years in between, Paula Pfluger found employment at the Viennese cabaret “Die Insel” in the comedy (1945–48) and at the Vienna Renaissance stage (1948–49). Her best-known post-war appearances on the boards include Die kluge Wienerinby Schreyvogl and Die kluge Färrin by Lope de Vega.

Paula Pfluger's second artistic mainstay was working in front of the camera. She has worked in cinema productions since 1929, albeit at rather irregular intervals. In 1944 she was seen with Theresa Schrammel in one of the leading female roles in the Viennese musician family portrait Schrammeln alongside legendary Viennese local greats such as Hans Moser and Paul Hörbiger . After the Second World War Paula Pfluger found mainly in television films employment and in 1962 again Moser's partner in one of his last films: Emperor Joseph and the signalman daughter of Axel Corti . In 1966 Paula Pfluger, who also appeared in radio plays such as The Trial of the Donkey's Shadow (1959), ended her career.
