Karl Schäfer (17 May 1909, in Vienna – 23 April 1976, in Vienna) was an Austrian figure skater and swimmer. In figure skating, he became a two-time Olympic champion at the 1932 Winter Olympics and the 1936 Winter Olympics. He was also a seven-time World champion (1930–1936) and eight-time European champion (1929–1930). As a swimmer, he competed at the 1928 Summer Olympics in the 200 metre breakstroke. Early life and skating career Karl Schäfer was born not far from the artificial ice rink of Eduard Engelmann Jr. in Vienna-Hernals .Figure skating coach Rudolf Kutzer first recognized Schäfer's talent when he was 11 years old. Schäfer won ten consecutive medals at the World Championships and European Championships, including seven and eight consecutive gold medals respectively, an all-time high for consecutive titles in both competitions (Sweden's Ulrich Salchow holds the record for all-time non-consecutive titles, ten World and nine European titles). He competed at the 1928 Winter Olympics and placed 4th. He won back-to-back Olympic titles in men's singles at the 1932 Winter Olympics and the 1936 Winter Olympics. Schäfer retired from competitive skating in 1936. He moved for a couple of years to the United States, where he worked as a coach. In 1938, he opened a sport store in Vienna. In 1940, he and Herta Wächter (also a figure skating coach) founded the "Karl-Schäfer-Eisrevue" (Karl Schäfer Ice Revue). In 1943, Schäfer became an actor and was the star of the movie "Der weiße Traum" (The White Dream), which was produced on Engelmann's ice rink in Vienna-Hernals. After World War II, Schäfer participated in rebuilding the Engelmann's ice rink, and from 1946 on he coached young skaters there. He moved again to the U.S. in 1956 and worked there as a figure skating coach until 1962. In 1962, he returned as a coach to Vienna-Hernals and lived and worked there until he died.The Karl Schäfer Memorial was a figure skating competition named after him that was held in Vienna from 1974 to 2008.Swimming career Schäfer was the Austrian breaststroke champion several times. He competed in the 1928 Summer Olympics and was eliminated in the semi-finals of the 200 metre breaststroke event. Personal life Schäfer played the violin very well. He married Christine Engelmann, the youngest daughter of Eduard Engelmann Jr. He was the brother-in-law of Helene Engelmann. The Karl Schäfer Memorial (also Vienna Trophy and Vienna Cup) was a senior-level international figure skating competition held in Vienna, Austria. Medals were awarded in four disciplines: men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing. Named after Karl Schäfer, the competition was held annually, usually in the autumn, from 1974 through 2008. In 1997 and 2005, the competition served as an Olympic qualifying competition. Karl Schäfer, (born May 17, 1909, Vienna, Austria-Hungary [now in Austria]—died April 26, 1976, Austria), Austrian figure skater who was the best performer in his sport during the 1930s and was an innovator in the sport as well. He won two successive gold medals in the Winter Olympics of 1932 and 1936. He was also world champion in figure skating from 1930 to 1936. Schäfer started training to be a figure skater early in his youth. He placed fourth in figure skating at the 1928 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz, Switzerland, a few months shy of his 19th birthday. He won his first European championship in 1929 and his first world championship in 1930. In his career he won 8 consecutive European titles, and his 7 world championships rank second only to the 10 titles won by Ulrich Salchow. In addition to his skating titles, Schäfer was an eight-time Austrian breast-stroke swimming champion. Schäfer won his first gold medal at the 1932 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York. Then 22 years old, he wrested first place from three-time Olympic champion Gillis Grafström. School figures were Schäfer’s specialty, and he also gained renown for his elegant style and wit. As much a dancer as an athlete, he introduced the “blur spin” (also known as the scratch spin) and many dance steps, including elements of waltz and the tango, to skating performances. He won his second gold medal at the 1936 Winter Olympics in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. Schäfer retired from competitive skating after 1936 and spent much of his time with touring ice shows. In 1940 he established his own touring group, Schäfer Ice-Show. Later he became a figure-skating coach in Austria. Der weiße Traum ist ein deutscher Revuefilm von Regisseur Géza von Cziffra unter der künstlerischen Oberleitung von Karl Hartl aus dem Jahr 1943. Handlung Das junge Eiskunstlauftalent Liesl erhält aufgrund einer Verwechslung zufällig eine Rolle bei einer neuen Revue am Palast-Theater. Eigentlich war diese Rolle jedoch für Lu Panther gedacht, die unbegabte Freundin des Theaterbesitzers Wildner. Nach verschiedenen Pannen lässt Wildner vor der Premiere das Theater schließen. Doch Ausstattungschef Ernst Eder verlegt kurzerhand die Aufführung auf die Eisbahn von Liesls Onkel. Die nunmehrige Eisrevue beginnt mit dem Wiener Prater als Hintergrund, dann folgen Spanien, Ungarn und ein Nachtlokal mit Jazz-Orchester. Die Aufführung wird ein Riesenerfolg, und natürlich finden auch Ernst und Liesl zusammen. Lieder Besonders populär wurde der Foxtrott Kauf dir einen bunten Luftballon nach der Melodie von Anton Profes und dem Text von Aldo von Pinelli. Olly Holzmanns Singstimme stammt von Alda Noni. Weitere Filmlieder sind Wie schön wär' heut für mich die Welt, O komm in das Land meiner Sehnsucht, Spiel' auf Deiner Fiedel, Ja, der Rhythmus und Ich bin die Prater-Mizzi. Weiteres Die Dreharbeiten fanden in Wien statt, die Choreographie besorgte Hedy Pfundmayr. Da es zu dieser Zeit keine Eisrevue gab, wurden die Mädchen auf Wiener Eislaufplätzen rekrutiert und von Willi Petter wochenlang ausgebildet. Uraufführung war am 5. Oktober 1943 in Wien und am 10. November 1943 in Berlin. Theodor Danegger, der eine tragende Rolle spielte, wird im Vorspann nicht erwähnt, da er am Ende der Dreharbeiten wegen Verstoßes gegen den § 175 verhaftet wurde. Die mit ihm gedrehten Szenen wurden aus der ursprünglichen Endfassung entfernt. Der Film zählte zu den erfolgreichsten Filmen in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus. Im Jahr 1960 drehte Géza von Cziffra das Remake Kauf Dir einen bunten Luftballon. Kritiken Wie bei verschiedenen anderen erfolgreichen deutschen Unterhaltungsfilmen während des Zweiten Weltkrieges gab es nach dem Krieg unterschiedliche Ansichten, ob ein Film wie dieser eher systemstabilisierend oder systemfern war. Karsten Witte sah in Wir tanzen um die Welt 1979 ihn als typischen Ablenkungsfilm von den damaligen Kriegsereignissen: „Der Entertainer im Eisstadion rät seinem Publikum, mit Lachen statt mit Kohlen zu heizen. Hier gibt die Filmindustrie einen Rat im weißen Alptraum: dem Winter von Stalingrad.“ Regisseur Géza von Cziffra dagegen verweist in seiner Autobiografie Kauf' Dir einen bunten Luftballon 1975 darauf, dass Karl Hartl, Produktionsleiter der Wien-Film und künstlerischer Oberleiter, wochenlang mit dem Reichsdramaturgen um die Genehmigung des Stoffes habe kämpfen müssen, da Goebbels gerade zu dieser Zeit von der Wien-Film „mehr Besinnung auf den Geist der Zeit, klare Aussagen und keine feige Flucht in die Vergangenheit“ verlangt habe. Der katholische Film-Dienst kommt zu einem anerkennenden Urteil und schreibt, Der weiße Traum sei „ein inszenatorisch und choreografisch bemerkenswerter Revuefilm mit flotter, aber nebensächlicher Komödienhandlung, der ansehnliche Unterhaltung in aufwendiger Ausstattung bietet“, räumt aber ein, es handle sich um ein „Stück deutsches Traum-Kino mit betonter Ausklammerung eines jeden Wirklichkeitsbezuges. Auszeichnungen Der weiße Traum erhielt das Prädikat „künstlerisch wertvoll“ der nationalsozialistischen Berliner Filmprüfstelle. Der weiße Traum - CAST & CREW Regie: Géza von Cziffra Olly Holzmann Lieselotte Strolz Wolf Albach-Retty Ernst Eder Lotte Lang Lu Oskar Sima Josef Wildner Hans Olden Theaterdirektor Schmoller Fritz Imhoff Bertram Petra Trautmann Gertie Kramer Theodor Danegger Onkel Strolz Rudolf Carl Toni Georg Lorenz Franz The young ice skating talent, Liesl, lands a part in a new Revue at the Palast Theatre simply because she is confused with someone else. In reality, the roll was to be awarded to Lu Panther, the untalented girlfriend of the theatre's owner, Wildner. After a series of accidents and little disasters, Wildner shuts down the theatre before the Revue can take place. But the Revue's director, Ernst Eder, decides shortly thereafter to present the Revue on an ice skating rink belonging to Liesl's uncle. After a successful run, at first at the Wiener Prater, the performers move on to Spain, Hungary, and a night club with a Jazz orchestra. The Revue becomes a huge success ... and, of course, Ernst and Liesl end up together, too.

These films were ranked based upon total box office and number of domestic tickets sold. Der Weiße Traum ("The White Dream"), 1943 This film, which recounts a young ice skater's struggle for success, premiered on October 5, 1943. The Nazis were struggling militarily after the advancement of Allied forces in Italy and the toppling of Mussolini during the summer of 1943.Immensee, 1943 This color film about a love triangle was based on the 1849 Theodor Storm love story of the same name. During the Nazi era, Storm's novella became popular for its nationalistic sentiments. Die Große Liebe ("The Great Love"), 1942 The love affair of a famous singer and a German pilot is this film's subject. Their intent to marry is prevented by World War II. Wiener Blut ("Viennese Blood"), 1942 This costume-rich musical was directed by Austrian Willi Forst, who himself was a star in stage musicals before turning to film in the 1930s. The film explores a young woman's experience as a dancer, and takes its title from a popular 19th century Austrian waltz. Schrammeln ("Schrammel Music"), 1944 This period piece portrays the personal lives of popular 19th century Austrian musicians Joseph and Hanns Schrammel, whose musical style was a staple of Viennese taverns. Zirkus Renz ("The Renz Circus"), 1943 This film depicts a love triangle involving Ernst Jakob Renz, who in the 19th century established the popular Renz Circus. Die Frau meiner Traume ("The Woman Of My Dreams"), 1944 A popular singer takes a break from her career and visits the countryside, where she falls in love with a local engineer. When her manager finds her and the engineer learns -- and disapproves -- of her celebrity, the relationship is threatened. Filled with extravagant musical numbers, the color film offered respite from the worsening war situation. Münchhausen, 1943 German audiences welcomed this special-effects-filled retelling of the outrageous adventures of an 18th century German nobleman as an escape from the war. With visual effects surpassing Hollywood efforts, Joseph Goebbels proclaimed in his diary, "Now we can again present our business cards to the world." The Vienna Ice Revue (Wiener Eisrevue) was an internationally highly successful ice show based upon Austria's great figure-skating tradition, presenting a large number of world-class figure skaters mainly from Vienna from 1945 to 1971. Representing a Viennese style, the Vienna Ice Revue was different from the competitor enterprise Holiday On Ice. In 1971 the Vienna Ice Revue was sold to Holiday On Ice and put on the back burner two years later. The roots The Wiener Eisrevue (Vienna Ice Revue) had its roots in the success story of Austrian figure skaters before World War II. Karl Schäfer, winner of eight European titles, seven World titles and two Olympic gold medals, was the most successful of these skaters. He had a show that was named after him, the Karl Schäfer-Eisrevue, which also played a major role in the movie “Der weiße Traum” (“The White Dream”) in 1943. From an artistic point of view, this show was the forerunner of the Vienna Ice Revue. The show's creator Will Petter and composer Robert Stolz In 1945, some months after the ending of World War II, the Wiener Eisrevue was founded. Will Petter, the “creator” of the Vienna Ice Revue, and his wife Edith who evolved into the revue's choreographer, carried out their idea of replacing “cold spots” with a story line. In 1952, Robert Stolz began to transpose this concept into music. He was destined to compose 19 “ice operettas” for the Vienna Ice Revue. Music by other composers was also integrated into the program. Most notably, the Blue Danube Waltz by Johann Strauß was played at the end of most productions. In one of the first New Year's Concerts with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra to be broadcast on TV, the Vienna Ice revue danced one of the waltzes. Touring through Europe The Vienna Ice Revue toured through most European countries including Switzerland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, France and Spain. In 1953, the show made its first appearance in North Africa (Algier and Oran). Adolf Eder was the commercial director. In the middle of the 1950s, the Vienna Ice Revue was one of the first “Western” institutions to appear in Moscow, Kiev and Leningrad following World War II. In Berlin, Antwerp and Moscow, the program was shown annually about 50 times in each city with an audience of about 10,000 people watching each performance. Later, the Vienna Ice Revue also toured Israel and the United States. Figure skaters mainly from Austria Many world-famous figure skaters from Austria starred in the Vienna Ice Revue such as Olympic runner-up Eva Pawlik (as a single skater and together with Rudi Seeliger as a couple), Olympic runner-up Helmut Seibt, European-, World- and Olympic Champions Sissy Schwarz and Kurt Oppelt, Olympic bronze medalist Ingrid Wendl, World runner-up Champion Hanna Eigel, Olympic runner-up Regine Heitzer and World Champion Emmerich Danzer. World-class figure skaters from Germany that starred in the Vienna Ice Revue were World Champions Marika Kilius and Hans-Jürgen Bäumler and Olympic Champion Manfred Schnelldorfer. Three European Champions from Austria in one show From the fall of 1958 to the spring of 1960, the Vienna Ice Revue presented three World runner-up champions and European champions from Austria in one show: Eva Pawlik, Hanna Eigel and Ingrid Wendl, who made her debut as a professional skater in 1958. Movies featuring the Vienna Ice Revue Spring On The Ice ("Frühling auf dem Eis"), produced in 1950, was the first movie presenting the Vienna Ice Revue. Eva Pawlik played the main role on the ice and in the frame story together with Austrian actors Hans Holt, Harry Fuß, Oskar Sima, Heinz Conrads and Albin Skoda. Further figure-skating stars presented in this movie: Emmy Puzinger, Hellmut May, Rudi Seeliger, Erni Zlam, Edith Petter and ice clown Bertl Capek. Symphony in Gold ("Symphonie in Gold"), produced in 1956, presented the European bronze medalist Emmy Puzinger together with Fernand Leemans from Belgium and Jiřína Nekolová from Czechoslovakia who had finished fourth at the 1948 Olympics. The movie Revue of Dreams ("Traumrevue"), produced in 1959, is a historical figure-skating document showing three European champions on the ice, with two of them performing in the frame story. Eva Pawlik played the role of a fictitious Hungarian figure-skating star. Besides, she was actress Waltraut Haas´ double on the ice. Ingrid Wendl was the second ice star who also played a role in the frame-story. The third European Champion of the Vienna Ice Revue ensemble presented in this movie was Hanna Eigel. Further figure-skating stars presented in this movie: Emmy Puzinger, Fernand Leemans, Rudi Seeliger, Inge and Willi Schilling, Charlotte Michiels and the ice clowns Herbert Bobek and Pieter van Gils. In the movies Buy A Colorful Balloon ("Kauf dir einen bunten Luftballon"), produced in 1960, and A Star Is Falling From The Sky ("Ein Stern fällt vom Himmel"), produced in 1961, German Champion Ina Bauer played the main role on the ice and in the frame story together with Austrian thrice Olympic skiing Champion Toni Sailer. In the movies The Great Free Programme ("Die große Kür"), produced in 1964, and The Big Luck ("Das große Glück"), produced in 1967, twice World Champions and Olympic runner-ups Marika Kilius and Hans-Jürgen Bäumler were the main stars on the ice and in the frame story. Further figure-skating stars presented in these movies: Emmy Puzinger and Fernand Leemans, Ingrid Wendl, Helmut Löfke and Norbert Felsinger. The show's expiration In 1971, the Vienna Ice Revue slid into a dangerous financial crisis. Morris Chalfen, the boss of Holiday On Ice, bought the enterprise. The Vienna Ice Revue went on dancing under American leadership for two years before the show was finally put on the back burner.  ebay1836
