Schwabinger Gisela

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Schwabing Gisela (civil Gisela Jonas-Dialer ; born January 24, 1929 in Moers , † July 25, 2014 in Munich ) was a German chanson singer . With her pub Bei Gisela , which opened in Munich-Schwabing in 1952 , she became an institution. People from different social classes and age groups as well as prominent guests met here.

Life

Gisela from Schwabing was the oldest of six children. She passed the entrance exam at the Folkwang School in Essen , where she studied expressive dance. When she was unable to continue this training for financial reasons after the war, she decided to become a racing driver. She began an apprenticeship as a car mechanic, which she did not finish. Rather, she came to Munich in a roundabout way , where she initially waited in the Schwabing artist restaurant Mutti Bräu and stood behind the counter. After barely three years, she went into business for herself in 1952 and, as the youngest landlady in Germany at the time, opened her own, soon-to-be-famous pub Bei Gisela at Occamstrasse 8 in Schwabing, which has been one of the best-known Munich cabarets since 2006 - under the new name Vereinsheim .

Every evening she stepped onto the stage of her little pub and sang chansons in a dark, smoky voice, of which the Schwabinger Laterne and Nowak are among her most famous. Her guests included u. a. Erich Kästner , Ruth Leuwerik , Princess Soraya , Leonard Bernstein , Franz Josef Strauss , Kirk Douglas and Orson Welles . Her autobiography, published in 2008, shows - in addition to historical, sometimes curious details - that the young and then still unknown Udo Jürgens played the piano between her performances and earned a few marks or a goulash soup with it. The Munich artist Ernst Eichinger lived in the apartment that belonged to the restaurant during his studies and beyond (with Petrus Schloemp and Herbert Kreil, among others ). Thus, for many years it was part of the “inventory” of the restaurant, which he had often designed artistically. Gisela herself remained on friendly terms with him (her "Picco") into old age.

In 1965 Jonas married the Tyrolean farm boy Luis Dialer (born June 12, 1912 in Tyrol; † June 6, 1983 in Wallerstein , Bavaria ) in Munich and spent another ten years with him in Schwabing. She then gave in to her husband's insistence and moved with him to Dinkelsbühl , where she became an innkeeper. After Luis Dialer's death, she first lived in Tyrol, then again in Munich.

Gisela Jonas-Dialer, who had her last public appearance in the Schwabinger Galerie Roucka in February 2014 , died on July 25th 2014 in her Munich apartment after a long and serious illness. She was buried on August 9, 2014 in Munich's North Cemetery .
