With her inimitable and humorous way, Mrs. Lotte Tobisch not only wins the hearts of the audience, but also finds a new fan in Markus Lanz. He spontaneously invites her to come back in four weeks. We can look forward to this sequel!
For me, Ms. Tobisch is the epitome of a wise person: youthful openness to new perspectives, paired with empathy
and reflection. And she has kept the (rebellious) child in her to this day and delighted her with disarming repartee and a sense of humor that also includes herself.

She is the epitome of the "Viennese salon lady" and was the organizer of the Vienna Opera Ball for 16 years: Lotte Tobisch. The trained actress made her debut at the Burgtheater in 1945 and exchanged letters with the philosopher and sociologist Theodor W. Adorno for several years. Lotte Tobisch at 3nach9 explains why older people might make the world a little better, but young people can change it, and what thoughts they have in their current book "To the Point".

Lotte Tobisch
* March 28, 1926, Vienna † October 19, 2019, Baden near Vienna
https://austria-forum.org/af/Biographien/Tobisch%2C_Lotte
Lotte Tobisch was born as Charlotte Tobisch von Labotýn on March 28, 1926 in Vienna as the daughter of the architect Karl Anton Gustav Alfred Ritter Tobisch von Labotýn. (Her grandfather was raised to hereditary nobility by Emperor Franz Josef in 1912 with the title Knight of Labotýn.)
As a daughter from higher circles, she received a very good education at the Marquartstein Castle boarding school in Upper Bavaria and at the Sacre Coeur in Vienna; She received her acting lessons from 1943 with Raoul Aslan and at the Horak Conservatory.
Towards the end of the Second World War, her family fled to Bavaria, Lotte Tobisch stayed alone in Vienna. She made her early theatrical debut in 1945 at the Vienna Burgtheater (in what was then the "Ronacher" alternative quarter), where she played until 1947. Here she met Erhard Buschbeck in 1945/46, the long-time chief dramaturge and deputy director of the castle, and entered into a relationship with him that was scandalous at the time. Because of this relationship, she terminated her contract at the Burgtheater and in the following years worked as a freelance actress on numerous German-speaking theaters, including the Vienna Volkstheater, the Theater in der Josefstadt and the Comedy Basel.
Lotte Tobisch also worked for radio, television and film: she achieved particular fame in 1955 as Eva Braun in the anti-Hitler film "The Last Act" (with Albin Skoda and Oskar Werner); on television she appeared with Karl Farkas, Käthe Gold and Adrienne Gessner (later in series such as "Wenn der Vater mit dem Sohne") and appeared in numerous children's programs.
In 1960 (after the death of Erhard Buschbeck) she returned to the Burgtheater as a member of the ensemble and celebrated success in numerous roles. From 1962 she was a member of the artistic works council of the Burgtheater, from 1974 to 1987 its "deputy chairman".
In the 1960s she and Theodor W. Adorno had a long friendship - their correspondence was published in book form in 2003.
Lotte Tobisch is known to the general public as the "ball mother" of the Vienna Opera Ball, which she took over from Christl Schönfeldt in 1980 and which she held until 1996.
Since then, Prof. Lotte Tobisch-Labotýn has been increasingly active in charity: she was honorary president of the Austrian Alzheimer's Society and patron of the association "Art on Wheels", an organization that takes care of the cultural care of people in retirement or nursing homes. She was particularly committed to the Hilde Wagener artists' home in Baden, of which she was president and where she died on October 19, 2019 after a long and serious illness.
