Case Teichtmeister: rumors about another “Corsage” actor

According to “Standard” (Tuesday’s edition), he “repeatedly became conspicuous through sexual harassment”. Like Teichtmeister, he was also in the cast of Marie Kreutzer’s “Corsage”, although the allegations do not relate to the shooting.

According to a spokeswoman for the Vienna Public Prosecutor’s Office, no proceedings are pending in relation to this case. A spokesman for the production company Film AG emphasized to the APA on Tuesday: “Of course we take such allegations seriously, even if they have nothing to do with the production of the film Corsage directly.” Director Marie Kreutzer commented in detail on this last summer. “At the time, she tried to get to the bottom of the rumors with both the actor and many whistleblowers. We had another detailed conversation with the actor yesterday. This conversation didn’t bring us any new information either.”

When asked by APA, the Confidential Office against Harassment and Violence in Art, Culture and Sport (“vera*”) pointed out that no information could be given on current cases. The IG authors warns against “general liability for others involved in productions”: “On the one hand, the cause with a search for those who are jointly responsible and complicity threatens to become independent in the media and politically and to distract from the problem of the decades-long insufficient fight against child pornography, on the other hand no more productions should be played in which Teichtmeister participated.” There are “hundreds and hundreds of participants in these productions, all of whom are now being placed under the Teichtmeister ban,” says Gerhard Ruiss. “It is urgently necessary to deal with the cause in a responsible manner in every direction, which cannot consist of blanket liability from other artists and cultural workers.”
