Amalie Haizinger

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.

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