Hermann Bahr

Died in 1934

Hermann Bahr was born in Linz in 1863 and died in Munich in 1934. After studies in Vienna, Czernowitz and Berlin and a stay in Paris where he became a critic, he settled in Vienna in 1891 and was the spokesman and theorist of Young Vienna, supporting Hofmannsthal and Schnitzler. He defended in turn naturalism, Romanticism and symbolism, which earned him the nickname of the Proteus of modernity. He was a stage director under Max Reinhardt in Berlin in 1906-1907, married the Wagnerian soprano Anna von Mildenburg in 1909 and in 1918 became chief dramaturge of the Burgtheater.
