Die Gefährtin is a one-act play by Arthur Schnitzler, which premiered on 1 March 1899[1] at the Burgtheater in Vienna.

In the same year, S. Fischer in Berlin published the text edition together with the one-act plays Der grüne Kakadu and Paracelsus.

In a first version, Schnitzler had already developed the material of a husband who has to revise his view of marriage after the death of his wife in the novella Der Wittwer published in 1894.

The play is set on an autumn evening towards the end of the 19th century in a summer resort near Vienna.

Worse still, Robert lets slip that his wife had an affair with his friend Doctor Alfred Hausmann during his lifetime.
