Cultural icon Schmidauer: 70 years for Klagenfurt's literature and theater!
Klagenfurt, Österreich - Günter Schmidauer, a versatile and committed cultural actively from Klagenfurt, recently celebrated his 70th birthday. The journalist, playwright and director is not only known as the board of the Austrian P.E.N. Club, but also as a jury spokesman for the Carinthian Stw poetry award. Schmidauer has left lasting traces in the domestic cultural scene over the years and often criticizes social stupidity and superficiality by addressing uncomfortable issues. For example, he initiated the removal of a swastika at the Burgruine Kraig.
In his career,Schmidauer headed the dramaturgy and the advertising department at the Klagenfurt city theater. He staged numerous plays and was involved in the end of the Austrian premiere of Gerd Kühr's "Stallerhof". He also published 16 works, including essays and novels. His dissertation about "the last days of humanity" by Karl Kraus shows his deep examination of literary topics. In his work, he relies on philosophers such as Günther Anders and Karl Popper, and warns of the creeping transition to a incapacitated mass.
