“Return” to Graz – Lore Krainer’s estate goes to the cabaret archive


Lore Krainer was one of the first women in Austria who wrote chansons and songs, composed and accompanied herself on the piano. While her first record was still titled “Von Menschen, Mäusen und Lipizzanern” and her first program “Superficial and insidious”, the next productions featured puns with her surname, such as “Krainer with mustard” or “So true I Krainer hot “. The program “Guglhupf” on Ö1 had a cult following throughout Austria, and for decades it accompanied countless households at Sunday breakfasts in a humorous way. Krainer was also a fixed star in the TV show “Seniorenclub”.
