'''Karl Lindau''' (also ''Carl Lindau'', real name ''Karl Gemperle'' (26 November 1853 – 15 January 1934) was an Austrian actor and writer.
== Life ==
Born in Vienna, Lindau was the son of Anton Gemperle, a [[coffee substitute]] manufacturer; his grandfather, the Swiss Johann Baptist Gemperle, had founded the first Viennese surrogate coffee factory. After a technical school education Lindau turned to theatre and made his debut on 20 October 1870 in [[Graz]] in ''[[Don Carlos (play)|Don Carlos]]''. Engagements followed at the ''Deutsches Theater'' in [[Pest, Hungary|Pest]], in [[Frankfurt am Main]] and in [[Dresden]], in 1879 again in Graz and in 1880 briefly in [[Olmütz]]. During this time, Lindau slowly turned away from the classical role subject and towards the comic subject. In 1881 he was finally engaged by director [[Franz Steiner (theatre director)|Franz Steiner]] at the [[Theater an der Wien]] and belonged there as a comedian to the ensemble until 1901. His roles in [[operette]]s and Wiener Possen made him a darling of the audience. From October 1882 to March 1883 he toured successfully through the United States and Canada with [[Josefine Gallmeyer]], [[Wilhelm Knaack]] and [[Franz Tewele]].
From 1876 Lindau was also active as a writer for the stage. In total he wrote more than 100 full-length plays, including ''s'', farces and [[Libretto|libretti]] for operettas, some of which became very popular. Together with Leopold Krenn (1850-1930), he wrote antics, including ''Hot Blood'' (1892), ''A Poor Girl'' (1893) and ''The Nazi'' (1895). With operettas such as ''Der Fremdenführer'' (music by [[Carl Michael Ziehrer]]) Krenn and Lindau provided parade roles for [[Alexander Girardi]]. Lindau also translated numerous French swings into German and wrote songs such as ''Da fahr'n ma halt nach Nußdorf raus'', ''Margarete, Mädchen ohne gleichen'', ''Der Eiserne Rathausmann'', ''Hupf, mein Mäderl'' and ''O mein Girl, meines Herzens Perl''.
Lindau was married to Mathilde Gräfin von Pourtalès († 1902).
