Live and act

The son of a police officer appeared on stage for the first time as an extra at the Landestheater Linz at the age of twelve . After finishing secondary school, he attended the Max Reinhardt Seminar in Vienna . At the same time he studied painting at the Vienna Art Academy . He made his debut in 1945 at the Innsbruck State Theater as the announcer at a performance of Jedermann .

This was followed by engagements at the Landestheater Linz (1945/46), the Insel in Vienna (1946/47), Burgtheater (1947/48), theater in Chur and summer theater in Winterthur (1949/50), Scala Vienna (1950 to 1952) , Landestheater Salzburg (1952/53), Bayerisches Staatsschauspiel in Munich (1953), Staatstheater Kassel (1953 to 1955) and the Städtische Bühnen Frankfurt (1956/57), where he first worked as a set designer.

1960 to 1962 he played again at the Burgtheater. In 1960 he founded the Ateliertheater am Naschmarkt in Vienna , which he directed until 1967. There he staged, among others, Oskar Kokoschka's Orpheus and Eurydike and the world premiere in Austria (1962) of Picasso's How one grabs wishes by the tail .

From 1964 on, Relin went on tours with his future wife, the actress Maria Schell (1926–2005), and worked as an actor and director for television. In 1976 he took over the Sommerhausen Gate Tower Theater in Sommerhausen near Würzburg, founded in 1950 by Luigi Malipiero , in a small tower above an old city gate. There he staged a number of world premieres such as Fred Viebahn's Blutsschwestern and Hans Krendlesberger's I have enough, I'll stay in bed, as well as the German premiere of Edward Albee's The Man Who Had Three Arms in 1985 .

In 1981 he started open-air theater in Sommerhausen. Because the council did not comply with his plans, he moved his theater and his ideas to the then half-ruined Brattenstein Castle near Röttingen . As first piece he led there in 1984 in a box set the piece Earlier ratios and played in it, as well as in 1985, the Muffl. Until 1987 he was director there. Pieces from the Vienna Volkstheater were performed under his direction.

Since then he has lived mainly in Sommer- and Winterhausen . Since 1950 he emerged as a painter, participated in exhibitions and used the gate tower theater as a gallery for his pictures. Relin was married to Maria Schell for the second time from 1966 to 1986. This marriage comes from Marie-Theres Relin (* 1966).

Veit Relin, who died on January 23, 2013 at the age of 86 in Ochsenfurt, near Würzburg, was buried on February 1, 2013 in the Sommerhausen cemetery.
