The “Kronen Zeitung” refers to its own early reports: “As early as October 2021, the ‘Krone’ reported that an award-winning actor was being investigated for assault, drug abuse and possession of child pornography, among other things.” The “Kurier” also takes the same line: “Rumors about Teichtmeister have been circulating for a long time, but there were no consequences. […] The question of how the Burgtheater, the ORF and the entire cultural industry should or could have reacted to the previous rumors about Teichtmeister will, as expected, still be an issue.” And “Austria” also writes: “The sparrows have been whistling for more than a year from the rooftops, now the disgusting affair about a local star actor has been confirmed by his own lawyers and the judiciary.”
duplicity of the cultural chic
The Viennese FPÖ used the cause for a sweeping attack. “The handling of the Teichtmeister cause is indicative of the duplicity and mendacity of the left-wing culture chiceria,” emphasized club chairman Maximilian Krauss and culture spokesman Stefan Berger in a broadcast on Saturday: “Although the allegation of possession of tens of thousands of child pornographic documents against the actor has been reported since The employers Burgtheater and ORF are said to have known about it for a year and a half, and a cloak of silence was wrapped over this scandal. […] Apart from the criminal law component, there is a moral responsibility for those who know about it from ORF and the Viennese theater landscape.”
Most media commentators agree that when the affair became known, Florian Teichtmeister’s acting career came to an end. “Whatever the outcome of the court hearing, the Viennese’s steep stage, TV and film career is over,” predicts the “Kronen Zeitung”. “Until now, the Viennese actor Florian Teichtmeister was considered the darling of the public – for more than 20 years you could see him on stage or on television, now a lot will change,” says Die Presse. And in the “Kleine Zeitung”, head of culture Ute Baumhackl made it clear in a comment towards Florian Teichtmeister: “He can no longer be worn on stage. Same thing on TV.”
Last but not least, the daily newspapers see massive effects of the cause on the Oscar chances of Marie Kreutzer’s Sisi drama “Corsage”. The responsible trade association had emphasized to the APA on Friday evening that the further procedure would be discussed over the weekend. “The chance of being among the top 5 best foreign films at the Oscars on January 24 is gone,” the “Kronen Zeitung” is already certain about this. “A disaster is also looming internationally. Marie Kreutzer’s Sisi parable ‘Corsage’, which is the favorite on the shortlist for the foreign Oscar, is as good as out of the running,” blows “Österreich” in the same horn.
“The charges against Teichtmeister also ruin the best chances of an Oscar nomination that Austria has had for a long time,” says the “Kurier” a little more cautiously. “The publicity of the cause will also be little conducive to the international flight of Kreutzer’s historical drama ‘Corsage’, which recently made it onto the shortlist of a total of fifteen candidates in the International Feature Film category of the Oscars,” says “Der Standard”. reserved. The “Oberösterreichische Nachrichten” also assesses the situation subjunctively: “It is conceivable that the charges against Teichtmeister could prevent a nomination.”
Secretary of State for Culture reacts on Saturday
Secretary of State for Culture Andrea Mayer (Greens) announced a detailed examination of the events on Saturday. “Yesterday, the BMKÖS immediately commissioned the Bundestheater-Holding to create a comprehensive chronology of the information flows in the group in order to ensure that action was taken correctly and with the necessary care at all levels. These processes are also subjected to an examination by an external expert .” She herself was deeply shocked by the results of the investigation and the pending criminal proceedings against Florian Teichtmeister. “Such behavior has no place in the federal theaters, just as little as in art and culture in general and in all other areas of society,” Mayer said in a broadcast.
