Ein Diener macht Schluss
As the monarchy in Austria neared its end, an entire profession faced obsolescence: servants and maids were no longer in demand—neither at court nor in the countless households that had long since run out of money. Many struggled to adapt to this transition, while others were relieved to leave behind the drudgery they had loathed.
The new democratic society no longer required newspapers to be ironed or assistance with morning robes. However, it was markedly more socially mobile than its predecessor, offering new opportunities and career paths. Former servants transitioned into service providers, and for the first time, the disenfranchised working class began organizing politically.
This period of upheaval was marked by hundreds of assassinations targeting crowned heads and state officials, dominating the headlines. This film takes viewers on a journey through this transformative era, told through the experiences of Viennese maid Cäcilie Zwicker and Vorarlberg servant Meinhard Hämmerle.
