He nagged, grumbled, mumbled, fussing with everyday worries and often had to be convinced of his own happiness - no one else personified the typical Viennese charmingly and formvollendeter than Hans Moser. With about 160 films and many theater roles, the little man created a great and unforgettable work. Austrian Post dedicates a special stamp to him on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of his death. On August 6, 1880, the sculptor's son Johann Julier was born in Vienna. The love of acting soon seized him, secretly he took lessons from the court actor Josef Moser, who also inspired him to his stage name. He gained his first stage experience in provincial theaters and traveling theaters. In 1903 he was a member of the ensemble at the prestigious Vienna "Theater in der Josefstadt", from 1907 he was again on various small stages of Austria-Hungary on the road. In 1911 he married Blanca Hirschler, who gave birth to their daughter Margarete two years later. During the First World War, Hans Moser served as a reserve reserve infantryman and was just confirmed at the front of his strange talent, which he perfected after the war in various cabarets and variety shows. In 1923 Robert Stolz brought him to the Viennese Ronacher, where he celebrated his artistic breakthrough with the skit "Der Dienstmann". Two years later, the great Max Reinhardt again hired him for the theater in the Josefstadt. Hans Moser played in pieces by Nestroy, Horváth or Schnitzler and became one of Vienna's most sought after actors. In the 1930s, he was drawn to the film, which made his great talent available to an even wider audience: Hans Moser then slipped into the role of the cranky, petty-bourgeois prime minister and played and sang in the hearts of the audience. Thanks to his great popularity he was allowed to continue working despite his marriage to a Jewish woman during the Nazi period, but his wife had to emigrate to Budapest. After the war, Moser and his wife moved to a villa in Hietzing and continued to shine in countless films with partners such as Theo Lingen, Romy Schneider, Paul Hörbiger or Heinz Rühmann. For the first time he also recorded the Vienna Burgtheater and was finally able to convince both the audience and the critics of his true theatrical greatness. On 19 June 1964, Hans Moser died of lung cancer and was buried at the Vienna Central Cemetery. The special stamp shows Hans Moser as Anton Lischka in the legendary confusion comedy "Hello Dienstmann" by Franz Antel from the year 1952, which lovingly commemorates his first great success in the twenties.
