Julius Einödshofer (* 10 February 1863 in Vienna; † 17 October 1930 in Berlin) was an Austrian composer and bandmaster.
He studied at the Conservatory of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna from 1876 to 1882. He then worked as a Kapellmeister at various provincial theatres in Austria-Hungary, including Bolzano, Olmütz and Innsbruck. In 1890/91 he was director of the theatre in Znojmo. During this time he wrote his first stage works, mostly one-act plays and farces.
In 1892 Einödshofer went to Berlin and became the first Kapellmeister and house composer of the newly opened Scala Theatre. A year later he moved to the Central Theatre in the same capacity, where he worked for a time with Leo Fall. When its director Richard Schultz moved to the Theater unter den Linden in 1898, he followed him together with the dramaturge and lyricist Julius Freund. Under the new name Metropol-Theater, the house soon developed into the leading entertainment stage of sophisticated Berlin. Einödshofer composed the first three of the famous and spectacular Metropol Theatre revues: "Das Paradies der Frauen" (1898), "Berlin lacht" (1899) and "Die verkehrte Welt" (1900). In 1901 he moved to the Thalia Theatre and subsequently worked mainly as a freelance conductor. From 1906 until World War I, he conducted the orchestra of the Baltic resort of Heringsdorf during the summer season.
In 1909 he took over the musical direction of the Apollo Theatre in Berlin and from 1911 he found his last place of work in the Berlin Admiralspalast. In the theatre, which had been converted into an ice rink, he composed for the large ballet sets on ice. After his retirement from the theatre business in 1921, he ran a theatre agency and was president of the Berlin Association of Theatre Kapellmeisters. He also continued to conduct for radio. In 1930, shortly before the start of a radio broadcast, he suffered a heart attack, the consequences of which caused his death.
