The props from Paulus Manker’s “Alma – A Show Biz to the End” and “The Last Days of Mankind” still lie dormant in containers in a warehouse in Neunkirchen. The items can be collected in November for a free donation – in aid of the ‘#we_do’ campaign, which supports victims of abuse in the theater world.
Paulus Manker has personally collected many rarities over the years to create an authentic atmosphere for his performances at the Südbahnhotel am Semmering. This was the only way it was possible to perform great works like “Alma – A Show Biz to the End” or “The Last Days of Mankind” almost faithfully to the original. Now the props are being given away for a free donation. There’s a chance to get your hands on a potentially valuable bargain with a touch of theater history.
Several large containers purchased at an auction
And there are many. Südbahnhotel boss Christian Zeller bought several large containers at an auction. Material that was officially owned by Manker himself, but which he did not collect at the contractually agreed time. He also made no bid at the mandatory auction in August, so Zeller won the bid for 8,000 euros. The total estimated value of the antique is approximately 16,000 euros. This includes candlesticks, cupboards, old typewriters – for example an Underwood – or an AEG vacuum cleaner, trophies, signs, candlesticks, old suitcases and costumes. All proceeds benefit the association “#we_do”. This is the reporting point for abuse of power, discrimination and intimidation in the film industry. Dates are November 8, 9, 10, 15, 16 and 17 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Spitz 10 in Neunkirchen.
A side note: On November 8, Alma actress Anna Werner Friedmann will be there in person to support the “#we_do” campaign. Because she was also a victim of Manker’s power games last year. You don’t have to worry about anything being left over. “Numerous fans have already announced their presence,” said Südbahnhotel spokesman Phillip Reich.
