Scandal director Paulus Manker and Südbahnhotel Kultur GmbH from Semmering (Lower Austria) have been at loggerheads for months. Now things are getting tighter for the artist, but he is using a new trick to avoid his creditors. He is now considered ‘absent’. Is the crime thriller about the artist approaching its final act?
Mankers Alma Theaterproduktion GmbH was to be seized as early as March 26 due to debts to Südbahnhotel Kultur GmbH. But the situation was not that simple: “The seizure was not carried out because no seized goods were found,” according to the enforcement report, which is also available to the “Crown”.
Usable items could not be found either in the private apartment or at the company location (both in Vienna). So the apartment and office were almost empty. According to the register, the company’s assets amounted to as much as minus 44.17 euros. “So is the artist bankrupt, or has he kept his assets safe from pesky law enforcement officers for a long time?” the creditors wonder.
Broke, illegal and in hiding?
One remembers all too well that his productions ‘Alma’ and ‘The Last Days of Mankind’ raised well over a million euros at the Südbahnhotel am Semmering. It is still unclear where the money is located.
For this reason, Manker has probably lost an ongoing lawsuit against the Südbahnhotel. According to the decision of the Higher Regional Court (OLG) Vienna, the termination of the contract by Südbahnhotel Kultur GmbH from April 2023 due to conduct contrary to the contract was legal. So Manker should not have played at the Südbahnhotel at all.
However, there is no longer any recourse against the cultural worker because he is now considered “missing”. In his role as general manager, he has not been available for months and has reported an “absent location” (see fax). Until the end of July. Court documents could not be served.
Manker did not want to explain himself to the “Krone”.
