Life, patronage and foundation activities

"The Soup Museum" (" News World Sheet ". February 26, 1901, p. 13.)

Sofie Strasser, who came from Regensburg, met the composer Franz von Suppè, who was then working at the Theater an der Wien , in Vienna in 1860 . The two had been a couple since June 1860 at least. Sofie Strasser worked in the choir of the Theater an der Wien from 1860 to 1861. She was not only Suppès Muse, but most likely also the librettist of his operetta Pique Dame (1864). The death of Suppè's first wife Therese von Suppè (née Merville) on May 23, 1865 made it possible for Franz von Suppè and Sofie Strasser to marry, which took place on July 18, 1866 in the Lainzer Dreifaltigkeitskirche .

After Suppès death on May 21, 1895, Suppès widowed his estate administrator. Until the end of her life she cherished the memory of his life and work. In 1895 she commissioned the young sculptor Richard Tautenhayn to design an artistic Suppè tomb for the grave of honor in Vienna's central cemetery . Between 1896 and 1908 she built and operated her Suppè Museum in Gars am Kamp , which she donated to the “ Municipal Collections of the City of Vienna ” on January 13, 1902 , so that her husband's artistic and private estate would be preserved after her death . Before that, she commissioned the young painter Isa (bella) Jechl to paint the Garser Suppè Museum as a watercolor , which was then reproduced as a collotype by collotype pioneer Max Jaffé . In 1914 Sofie von Suppè donated 20,000 kroner to the “ Society of Authors, Composers and Music Publishers ” [corresponds to the purchasing power of 112,250 EUR in 2019] for a fund bearing the name Suppè, the interest of which is to benefit AKM members in need every year . In 1921 she donated the handwritten scores of 47 dramatic and numerous other orchestral and vocal works from Suppès' estate to the “ Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde ”. In 1926, the year Suppè's works became public domain , Sofie von Suppè died on March 15 in Vienna, where she was buried in her husband's grave of honor.

In 1983 the narrator and radio author Cornelius Streiter [= Bernhard Doerdelmann] wrote an almost one-hour audio picture for Bayerischer Rundfunk about Sophie Strasser - the Viennese woman from Regensburg or: How Franz von Soup became world famous , which was published on February 20, 1983 in the 2nd Radio program was broadcast. Although the majority of the biographical details presented therein as facts are demonstrably fictitious, the archivist and music historian Raimund Walter Sterl passed on in good faith Streiter's inventions as facts in two detailed Sofie von Suppè articles: Rosine Sophie Strasser (1841–1926) . Its importance for Franz von Suppé's life and work as well as a woman from Regensburg as a musical muse in Vienna. Franz von Suppé's wife Rosine Sophie Suppé, b. Strasser (1841-1926).
