history
The beginnings of the Tschauner stage go back to 1909, when theater director Gustav Tschauner founded a summer stage in Brigittenau . When he married nineteen-year-old Karoline Rudolf, daughter of a showman family, in 1938 - at the age of fifty - she brought her parents' stage in Kendlerstrasse into the marriage. This theater was subsequently moved to Ganglbauergasse. In 1957 the location of the stage was relocated again when it was rebuilt from old wooden material at Maroltingergasse 43, but did not resume play until 1959.
When Gustav Tschauner died in 1961, the stage got into a serious crisis, but Tschauner's widow fought to keep the house, which in the following years developed into an institution in Viennese cultural life. In 1987 Karoline Tschauner sold the stage to the Wiener Volksbildungswerk. Due to the danger of collapse, the theater had to be demolished in 1988, but could be rebuilt with funds from the City of Vienna and sponsorship funds and reopened on July 4, 1989 under the name Original Wiener Stegreifbühne, formerly Tschauner .
In 2010 the new director Anita Zemlyak brought Tschauner Reloaded into being. Classics such as Jedermann , Schneewittchen & Co. and Die Geierwally are performed in the Vienna theater summer .
In 2018, the impromptu play on the Tschauner stage was included in the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage . In 2020, the performances were canceled due to the corona pandemic .
