English Summary: Ludwig van Beethoven lived and worked at the Theater an der Wien. For this house, he composed his opera Fidelio, which had its first performance here in 1805. Important academies were held at the same location, and three of his symphonies were premiered here. Involved in the day-to-day processes at the theater, Beethoven was part of that extensive Viennese network of people who promoted and directed the Theater an der Wien, and were connected to the theater in the years of military unrest and political upheavals. Despite these historical facts, the Theater an der Wien has so far played only a marginal role in the lively culture of memory surrounding Beethoven. The book deals with the living and working conditions at Theater an der Wien around 1805, and explores the question of why the theater did not take a significant place in historical memory. What role did the premiere of Fidelio play in this? German Description: Ludwig van Beethoven lebte und arbeitete am Theater an der Wien. Er komponierte fur dieses Haus seine Oper Fidelio , die 1805 hier ihre erste Auffuhrung erlebte. Am gleichen Ort fanden wichtige Akademien statt, bei denen u.a. das Violinkonzert und drei seiner Sinfonien uraufgefuhrt wurden. Eingebunden in die alltaglichen Arbeitsablaufe am Theater, war Beethoven Teil jenes weitverzweigten Wiener Netzwerkes von Personen, die das Theater an der Wien forderten und leiteten, am Theater arbeiteten und in den Jahren militarischer Unruhen und politischer Umwalzungen mit dem Theater verbunden waren. Trotz dieser historischen Fakten spielt das Theater an der Wien in der an sich regen Erinnerungskultur rund um Beethoven bisher eine nur marginale Rolle. Das Buch befasst sich mit den Lebensumstanden und Arbeitsbedingungen am Theater an der Wien um 1805 und geht der Frage nach, warum das Theater nicht zum Erinnerungsort wurde. Welche Rolle spielte dabei beispielsweise die Urauffuhrung des Fidelio ?
