Teichtmeister Must Pay More Compensation to Vienna Burgtheater

The Burgtheater was awarded 58,725 euros in the second instance, confirmed OLG spokesperson Susanne Lehr to the APA on Tuesday afternoon, following a report by the "Kronen Zeitung". However, the decision is not yet legally binding, said Lehr.

The Burgtheater had dismissed Teichtmeister after criminal investigations were initiated against him for possession and production of visual abuse material of children and adolescents, which later led to a conviction. Subsequently, the Burgtheater filed a lawsuit for damages against Teichtmeister at the Labor and Social Court (ASG) Vienna, claiming nearly 95,000 euros for costs of canceled performances, recasting, redesigning program booklets, crisis communication, and legal advice. Last May, the ASG awarded the Burgtheater 19,231 euros, which was too little for the theater. The appeal filed against this was now successful.

Teichtmeister Can Still File an Extraordinary Appeal

Teichtmeister can still file an extraordinary appeal against the OLG's decision. Whether he will make use of this option is unclear. "The deadline for this is still open," OLG spokesperson Lehr stated.
