Hommage to Hermann Leopoldi

Program: “Treten’s nur herein”

The town hall of Lackenbach opens its doors for a very special evening dedicated to the life and work of Hermann Leopoldi – the famous Jewish songwriter, composer, and cabaret artist of the mid-20th century.

Born Hersch Kohn (1888–1959) in Vienna, Leopoldi survived the concentration camps of Dachau and Buchenwald and went on to become one of Austria’s most beloved entertainers, also achieving great success during his years in the United States. His witty, humorous, and heartfelt songs continue to inspire and delight audiences today.

The program “Treten’s nur herein” is conceived as a theatrical homage: a performance where well-known and lesser-known Leopoldi songs are presented in a lively and engaging way, with the audience invited to join in and become part of the show.

The event is taking place at the  Lackenbach’s Town Hall

Duration: approx. 2 hours

Entry: Free admission

This event is organized in cooperation with the Burgenländische Forschungsgesellschaft.

Whether you are drawn to the charm of humorous musical cabaret or to the fascinating story of Hermann Leopoldi’s life and legacy, this evening promises a warm, inspiring, and unforgettable cultural experience.
