Maria Eis

Maria Eis (22 February 1896 – 18 December 1954) was an Austrian actress of stage and screen.

Later, she moved to Hamburg, where she played at the Thalia Theater and at the Deutschen Schauspielhaus until 1932.

When she returned to Vienna, she joined an ensemble group at the Burgtheatre (City Theatre), where she played character and tragic roles up until her death.

Her performances, such as Elizabeth I, Lady Macbeth, Sappho, Medea, and Iphigenia are considered noteworthy.

A section of road in front of the former Karl Michael Ziehrer House has been renamed "Maria Eis Gasse" in her memory.
