On February 8, the trial against the actor collapsed. He was “seriously ill”. Since then, everyone has said in unison, “There’s nothing new yet.” But what actually happened with the Burgtheater’s announced claim for damages? And will ORF be broadcasting pieces by Teichtmeister again soon?
Guessing Florian Teichtmeister. The mime is said to have hoarded 58,000 files on child abuse and must answer to the judge for this. Shortly before the trial on February 8, the Vienna Regional Court reported that the 43-year-old was “acutely ill”.
The long wait for the new date
Exactly one month later, a new date has still not been scheduled. Court experts even consider it possible that the trial will not take place until the summer. In any case, the cause should not “fall asleep”. The public interest in the fallen TV commissioner and castle actor is too great.
“Incomplete information” at the Burgtheater
Speaking of the castle: the theater management wanted to claim compensation. However, it still seems a long way from that: “We will take legal action based on legal advice if the damage can be fully quantified,” it says. The information is “incomplete”.
ORF will „to evaluate“
After the allegations became known, the ORF no longer broadcast series or films with the Viennese. But for how long? “The ORF will not continue to broadcast productions with Florian Teichtmeister,” says a spokesperson when asked by “Krone”. But: “At a certain point it is important to evaluate whether and if so, in what form his participation will work again.”
