Commemorative stamp

Franz Grillparzer was born on January 15, 1791 in Vienna's Bauernmarkt. His first poem was handed down in the year 1804. In 1810 Grillparzer submitted his first major drama Blanka von Kastilien to the Hofburg Theater, where it was rejected. By chance he met Josef Schreyvogel, who was secretary of the Burgtheater, and through his support Grillparzer's family drama Die Ahnfrau debuted on January 31, 1817 in the Theater an der Wien. In the years that followed, Grillparzer completed various works such as Koenig Ottokar's Glueck und Ende, Der Traum, ein Leben, along with the dramas Ein Bruderzwist in Habsburg, Die Judin von Toledo, and Libussa. He was honored with numerous awards for his works and died on January 21, 1872.
