Teichtmeister is suing Vienna’s Burgtheater for 100,000 euros

First appearance of ex-TV star Florian Teichtmeister after his criminal conviction on September 5, 2023. The former castle actor took a seat in the labor and social court on Monday at 9 a.m. Dressed in a black suit and represented by lawyer Manfred Arbacher-Stöger, he is this time confronted with a lawsuit from the Burgtheater. His former employer is now suing the actor for 100,000 euros.

“Why didn’t you do anything? Suspended or preparing an understudy? Why did you have such blinders on?” Arbacher asks why the Haus am Ring didn’t react after the allegations became known. “Maybe you were naive. He told us that he was going to sue his partner at the time,” argues the representative of the Burgtheater. Canceled performances and legal fees The damage amount is 100,000 euros due to canceled performances, newly printed programs and also legal fees. Depictions of abuse of minors Numerous depictions of abuse of minors, some of which are accompanied by music horribly sadistic texts were confiscated from Teichtmeister during a house search in August 2021. He was sentenced to two years of conditional imprisonment for pornographic depictions of minors. Strict conditions When he was sentenced, Teichtmeister was given strict conditions for his conditional prison sentence. This includes forensic psychotherapy, psychological treatment, probation assistance and confirmation of abstinence from alcohol and drugs.
