Trude Mally (born January 21, 1928 in Neukettenhof (today Schwechat ); † June 4, 2009 in Vienna ; actually Gertrud Barbara Mally ) was an Austrian singer and dudler .

Life

Trude Mally grew up in a musical family and began playing the piano and singing as a child. At the age of 10, she performed together with her aunt, the famous dudler Ady Rothmayer (1893–1975), and soon became a child star. During the Second World War , Rothmayer was hired for the front theater and took her niece with her, who had already developed a considerable repertoire of folk and Viennese songs . These tours of the Ostmärkischen Jodler took them to the front soldiers in Norway and Russia and in the last year of the war in hospitals.

From the end of 1945 to mid-1947, Mally worked in the Alpenklang-Trio , from 1947-49 she had appearances on the Rot-Weiß-Rot transmitter with the Kemmeter and Zaruba-Schrammeln , in the accompanying program of cinema performances and in various cabarets. On tours she performed a. a. with Hans Moser in Austria and Switzerland and had several vocal appearances in films.

From 1951 she appeared with the Matauschek family, a well-known family of Wienerlied interpreters, in Breitensee , where, in addition to the traditional Viennese folk music repertoire, she also her husband Fritz Matauschek junior. (1917–1977), with whom she was married from 1953 to 1960. Since then she has often been accompanied by her brother-in-law, the accordion player Pepi Matauschek (1925–2000).

During the preparatory talks for the signing of the State Treaty in 1955, Trude Mally was hired by the Austrian federal government to soften the allies with wine, music and “Viennese charm”. (This is probably the real core of the famous caricature by Hanns Erich Köhler from Simplicissimus , which shows Julius Raab playing the zither in a circle of tearful Soviet politicians and Leopold Figl whispering in Raab's ear: “And now, Raab - and now nor d ' phylloxera , then sans waach. ")

From 1964 Mally started a new start as an old Viennese duo with her new partner, the folk musician, organ builder and handyman Karl Nagl (1922–1994) . Both set up the “Nagl-Stüberl” as a home for Viennese folk art. The collaboration, which lasted until 1983, was temporarily interrupted during her second marriage to an innkeeper from 1970 to 1972 when she gave up her profession as a singer.

With Nagl she had many engagements in Viennese pubs and made numerous records and radio broadcasts for ORF, followed by television appearances. From 1984 Pepi Matauschek was her preferred companion, after his death in 2000 Mally performed with Roland Sulzer or the duo Karl Hodina / Rudi Koschelu.

Trude Mally was one of the last representatives of the Viennese way of yodelling, the traditional "dudeln", and a recognized and popular interpreter of Viennese and alpine folk songs as well as traditional Viennese songs.

Trude Mally has passed on her knowledge and skills to the "offspring" with great dedication. Agnes Palmisano , Tini Kainrath , Doris Windhager and the only male dudler in Vienna, Rudi Koschelu, are masters of doodling and maintain this part of Vienna's cultural heritage with their art.

She was buried in the Baumgartner Friedhof in Vienna in an honorary grave (group 26, number 120). In 2018, the Trude-Mally-Weg in Vienna- Donaustadt (22nd district, Seestadt Aspern ) was named after her.
