Helene Thimig, Max Reinhardt’s second wife, also wrote beautiful words in her memoirs about life at Schloss Leopoldskron. “Since the day we joined forces (Reinhardt and Thimig), the thought of Leopoldskron made every day more beautiful<//u> – from the day Reinhardt’s telegram informed me about the acquisition of the palace, to the difficult day when it was taken from us (...).”

“Many hours of our life were enriched by the wonderful feeling this beautiful building bestowed upon us and one we had always searched for in our lives and in the arts – a feeling of being in an elevated state”. Max Reinhardt was a born theater director and even staged himself as the landlord of Schloss Leopoldskron. He was an artist who viewed it as his duty to transform everything into art, and if possible into a celebration.
