Peter Auzinger (1836-1914)

Peter Auzinger (born October 18, 1836 in Athens , † February 6, 1914 in Munich ) was a German actor and Bavarian dialect poet. His grave is in Munich on the Ostfriedhof .

Life

Auzinger is the son of the military musician Anton Auzinger and his wife Emma Wagner. Anton Auzinger came to Greece in the wake of King Otto von Wittelsbach as the head boist of the royal 7th Infantry Battalion .

In 1838 the father and his family returned to Munich from Greece. Since the family was financially not very well off, the only way to afford the son Peter was a church school for the poor . Between 1846 and 1848, however, he took the opportunity to visit a school in the country which his relative was running. Here he also learned his first instrument.

In May 1852 Auzinger went to the 1st Infantry Regiment Prinz Luitpold in Munich as a military trumpeter . With this he was transferred to Germersheim in the autumn of the same year . There Auzinger fell ill with severe intermittent fever, which meant the end of his musician career after his recovery. He was integrated into the standing army as a corporal and later proposed for promotion several times. Since Auzinger really wanted to go to the stage, he turned down the promotions.

In 1855 he was transferred to Munich and worked as a fireworker from 1859 to 1861. After 25 years of service, Auzinger was dismissed in 1861. Auzinger immediately tried to find accommodation at the theater, but all of his attempts more or less failed. During this time he also began his literary work.

In October 1863 Auzinger got a job as private secretary at the Reichsrat and later President of the Reichs-Ratskammer Freiherrn A. von und zu Frankenstein.

A year later, Auzinger joined the Museum Society as a secretary . As such, he had the duties of a managing director. A few years later he moved to the general trade association , which was also in Munich.

At the age of 29 he married Walburga Carolina Horn on June 27, 1865. With her he had a daughter and three sons.

Thanks to the royal Bavarian Minister J. Lutz, who was enthusiastic about Auzinger's poetry, Auzinger was promoted to clerk in the Ministry of Culture in April 1880. Some time later he was also appointed to the board of trustees of the Maximilianeum.

Auzinger's wife died in Munich in 1912 at the age of 69. Two years later, on February 6, 1914, Peter Auzinger died at the age of 78, also in Munich.

Auzinger's pieces in Bavarian dialect were particularly popular with audiences and critics. His character Da Büchs'nfranzl was number 1 on the repertoire of the gardening theater in Munich for many years. Only the works written in High German were received less enthusiastically.
