Life

Haizinger debuted in 1810 at the Karlsruhe Theater. In 1816, she married actor Carl Neumann. Her talent for profitably performing stage plays developed very rapidly. She found enthusiastic applause on tours as far as Paris, London and St. Petersburg.

After the death of her first husband, she married singer Anton Haizinger in 1827 and worked with him in Karlsruhe. There she concentrated on comedy projects. In 1836, a book was published about her.[1] In 1846, she participated in an engagement at the Burgtheater in Vienna, where she worked in the stock "funny old lady" role until her death on 10 August 1884.

To celebrate Haizinger's 50th birthday, Johann Baptist Reiter painted a portrait of her that hangs today in the Schlossmuseum Linz.

Family

With her first husband, Haizinger had two children, Adolphine Neumann and Luise Neumann, who both became notable actresses.

Awards

Haizingergasse, a street in Vienna 18 (Währing), is named after the actress, as well as a high school on that street.

gollark: I mean, I'd say, it doesn't affect the actual game itself directly but should affect your decision to buy it somewhat.
gollark: Apparently UK university admissions are *partly* based on predicted grades and not actual grades for some insane reason. I might not actually go to university because universities are frequently problematic, but I don't really know what to do instead.
gollark: I'm doing maths/further maths/physics/CS, so I *probably* can reasonably decide to do that.
