The Helene-Thimig-Way in the Flachgauer community of Strobl commemorates the 1889-born Viennese actress, who, in view of the rise of National Socialism, emigrated together with her husband Max Reinhardt to the USA. The actress, who was extremely well-known and popular in the German-speaking world, was denied a career in the USA; she was given only minor film roles and often had to play German women. Three years after the death of Max Reinhardt, Thimig returned to Austria in 1946, where she continued to act on various stages until her 85th birthday and was praised for her performances. Helene Thimig died on 7 November 1974 in Vienna, where – as in Strobbl – a path is dedicated to her memory. In addition, a Stolperstein was laid in the Salzburg Festival area in her honor.
