Fundraising dinners usually have the reputation that the atmosphere is often a little "forced". But not so with the invitation from the Theater in der Josefstadt in Vienna's Palais Coburg. The exact opposite was the case and "Soko Donau" actor Stefan Jürgens was one of the stars.

Around 100 guests gathered at Vienna's Palais Coburg for the fundraising dinner hosted by Theater in der Josefstadt with many of its stars and director Herbert Fötting as the evening's spearhead and emcee. "This evening has a reason, pursues a very specific purpose," he said, thanking the donors, many of whom have been walking the path together with Josefstadt for many years. Of course, Günther Rhomberg was also congratulated. The former Josefstadt Foundation board member celebrated his 86th birthday.

"Soko Donau" star performed
Stefan Jürgens then really hit the keys, in the truest sense of the word. The actor, known from TV hits such as "SOKO Donau", accompanied himself on the piano during his musical performance, which left almost no one in their seats.
