Tajemnice biografii Anny Lampel

Abstract

This article is devoted to Anna Lampel née Stiegler, a theatre actress of Austrian origin, active on stage in the last two decades of the 18th century. From 1789, she performed in Lviv theatres, first under Franz Bulla, then under Wojciech Bogusławski, with whom she had a relationship. When Bogusławski left Lviv in 1799, she followed him to Warsaw. She died in 1800 in Kalisz; the circumstances of her death remain unknown. Lampel is mentioned in publications by Jerzy Got (Na wyspie Guaxary, 1971) and Zbigniew Raszewski (Bogusławski, 1982). The article takes previous biographical findings and supplements them with information from archive records. The author refers to Lampel’s death certificate and offers a commentary on the funeral speech by Father Jan Dębski. Based on the newly found death certificate of Ewa Lampel, who was born in 1800 in Kalisz and died in 1855 in Warsaw, the author puts forth the hypothesis – corroborated by Raszewski’s suggestions – that Ewa was the child of Anna Lampel and Bogusławski, and that her mother died in childbirth.
