With strict conditions
After Oktoberfest scandal: Teichtmeister is released
The former Burgtheater actor was arrested last fall at Munich’s Oktoberfest after being caught red-handed using cocaine. Since then, he had been detained at the Mittersteig correctional facility for crisis intervention. Shortly after 3 p.m. on Monday, Florian Teichtmeister—who had been sentenced in 2023 to a suspended prison term for the production and consumption of child pornography—was released from custody.

He violated the terms of his probation at the Munich Oktoberfest, where he was caught red-handed by an officer using cocaine in a restroom.
The former TV detective has since been housed at the forensic-therapeutic center at the Vienna-Mittersteig correctional facility. On October 28, Judge Stefan Apostol ordered a three-month crisis intervention program for his supervision.
Given the proven, one-time use, outpatient treatment while remaining free with strict supervision is possible.

Strict Conditions and Close Monitoring
As the “Krone” has learned, Florian Teichtmeister was allowed to leave Mittersteig on Monday. In his expert opinion, court psychiatrist Peter Hofmann determined that the actor’s placement and therapy—as stipulated in his sentencing on September 5, 2023, at the Vienna Regional Court—could be carried out while he remains free.
“Given the proven, one-time use, outpatient treatment while free with strict monitoring is possible,” confirms attorney Rudolf Mayer, who represents Teichtmeister alongside Regina Schütz, regarding the decision to release him from custody.
Given our client’s recent experience in custody, which was terrible for him, there is no longer any risk of relapse.

However, the conditions are far stricter than they were previously. For example, the alcohol ban—which had once been imposed by the court and lifted some time ago—has been reinstated. In addition, intensive psychotherapy has been ordered. “Given our client’s recent experience in custody, which was terrible for him, there is no longer any risk of recidivism,” Mayer and Schütz are certain. Only time will tell if they are correct.
