Das Dreimäderlhaus (1918)
German postcard. Film-Sterne, No. 536/7. Richard-Oswald-Film. Card for the German silent film Das Dreimäderlhaus (The House of Three Girls, Richard Oswald, Richard-Oswald-Film 1918), considered a lost film and dealing with the life of composer Franz Schubert (Julius Spielmann). The three sisters from the title, presented here, are played by Sybille Binder, Käthe Oswald, and Ruth Werner.
Das Dreimäderlhaus was based on a homonymous operetta, first performed in 1916 and using Schubert's music, while successful operetta adaptations were made as Chanson d'amour (1921), Blossom Time (1921) and Lilac Time (1922). The story deals with the love affairs of the three daughters of court glassmaker Christian Tschöll (Wilhelm Diegelmann) with Schubert and his two friends. Under the lilac tree Tschöll agrees to the marriage of his three daughters with the three young men, but while Schubert's friends marry, a misunderstanding prevents marriage between Schubert and Hannerl (Sybille Binder). She marries baron Schober (Conrad Veidt), against whose maneuvers his girlfriend Grisi (Anita Berber) warns. Hannerl instead thinks Grisi warns against Schubert, so she marries Schober instead, and Schubert is left alone.
