A person who took a stand, who was interested in the issues of the time and stood up for his opinion and a multifaceted, versatile and great artist. Our thoughts are with his family."
No cause of death reported.
Simonischek was interviewed in 2021:
Q: Only half of the Austrians have undergone a corona vaccination, what do you think of it?
Simonischek: The vaccination campaign was poorly communicated. In a democracy, it is not possible to reach all people with the same arguments. Solidarity, social responsibility and reason are not equally distributed. My suggestion is: give to all households vouchers for a goulash and a beer! To be redeemed after vaccination. After the first, the goulash; after the second, the beer. Optionally alcohol-free!
