Adolf Bäuerle

Between 1808 and 1828 Bäuerle worked in Vienna as a secretary at the Leopoldstädter Theater and favoured the Volkstheater by virtue of his office.

From 1828 he was almost exclusively active in the editorial office of his Theaterzeitung and engaged the witty writer Moritz Gottlieb Saphir.

In 1813 he created the figure of the umbrella maker "Chrysostomus Staberl" in Die Bürger in Wien [de], with which he replaced the Hanswurst and the Kasperl.

Together with Josef Alois Gleich and Karl Meisl Bäuerle belonged to the "great three" of the Old Viennese Volkstheater before Ferdinand Raimund.

In 1869 Bäuerle's remains were exhumed and transferred from Basel to the family crypt at Schloss Erlaa.
