history

The conservatory was founded in 1905 by the music teacher Eugenie Patonay as a music school and then continued as a conservatory for music and dramatic arts. In 1911 the institute moved to the premises of the former Ehrbar piano manufacturing company . Soon acting and ballet classes were also offered.

Kurt Steinitz was the owner of the property in Mühlgasse until 1938. After Austria was annexed to the German Reich in March 1938, Steinitz fled to South America and the property was managed as trustee by the Gestapo lawyer, Stefan Lehner . In 1939 the Conservatory for Music and Dramatic Art was Aryanized by the couple Karl and Margarethe Prayner . The transfer was recognized in court after 1945, and provisions and financial compensation followed.

The Prayner Conservatory was one of the first conservatories to receive public rights from the Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research with a decree of March 31, 1958 , which was later revoked.
