!!!Wiener Werkel

Wiener Werkel, only Viennese  Kabarett which performed during the era 
of National Socialism. A. Mueller-Reizner was the founder and manager, 
and staged the performances in the what used to be the Moulin Rouge. 
All ten shows were box-office successes because they managed to 
criticise the National Socialist regime in spite of restrictions 
imposed by the National Ministry for Public Enlightenment and 
Propaganda. The texts were written by R.  Weys, F. Paul and F.  
Eckhardt ("Sebastians Hoellenfahrt"), who was forced into the 
underground. After the death of Mueller-Reizner (1942), his wife C. 
Renz took over the management of the cabaret. The Wiener Werkel ceased 
to exist as a result of the general closure of all theatres in 1944.
