Ferdinand Raimund

Died
September 05, 1836

Genre


Ferdinand Raimund (born Ferdinand Jakob Raimann) was an Austrian comic actor and dramatist. After touring throughout the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he became first a permanent member of the Leopoldstädter Theater and then its director.

Alongside Johann Nestroy, Raimund was one of the two most notable dramatists of the fanciful, farcial style, based around familiar folk characters, known as Alt-Wiener Volkstheater. His plays are fairy-tale comedies set in an ordered world which allows them to express aspirations to a higher realm of love and freedom.

Raimund's comedies are still frequently performed in Austria today.

“Eduard: O, so laß mich zu deinen Füßen stürzen, Tochter des Himmels.
Hoffnung: Langsam, mein Herr, nicht so rasch! Sieh, sieh, wie exaltiert. Hat Sie meine Feindin, die Furcht, schon verlassen, weil Sie so schnell wieder zu meiner Fahne schwören? Wissen Sie vielmehr, daß das sehr unartig ist, eine Dame vor sich stehen zu lassen, ohne ihr einen Sitz anzubieten! Oder glauben Sie, weil sich so viele Leute auf mich stützen, daß ich keiner Stütze bedürfe? Nein, mein Herr, einen Sitz.”
Ferdinand Raimund, Der Diamant des Geisterkönigs (Perfect Library)
