After more than 15 years in Germany, he moved back to Austria and made the multi-part In times like these , several films and the two series Kaisermühlen Blues (1992–1993) and Oben ohne (2005–2011), which have now also achieved cult status .
Reinhard Schwabenitzky lives with his second wife Elfi Eschke and their son Lucas near Salzburg . In 1993 he founded his film company "Star * Film", with which he produced most of his cinema and television films - together with his son Markus from his first marriage.
