Summary/Abstract: The present study is based on the non-autographed manuscript of Franz Xaver Girzik‘s drama Die Erstürmung des Prinzen Eugenio Thores oder Temeswars Befreyung (1813) to be found in the theatrical collection of the Széchényi National Library and tackles, after a comprehensive drama analysis, the text deletions from the prompt book from the year 1825. The author investigates the cultural environment in which the Czech actor, active in the Kingdom of Hungary, presented his play, why he chose this particular historical material and why the drama only came to the German stage in Buda for the first time in 1826. Girzik‘s Temeswar-Drama constitutes an exciting example for the Prince Eugen-cult in the 19th century.
