Das Dreimäderlhaus/The House of Three Girls (Richard Oswald, 1918) was based on a homonymous operetta, first performed in 1916 and using Franz Schubert's music. Successful English-language operetta adaptations were made such as 'Chanson d'amour' (1921), 'Blossom Time' (1921) and 'Lilac Time' (1922)
The story deals with the love affairs of the three daughters of court glassmaker Christian Tschöll with Franz Schubert (Julius Spielmann) and two of his friends. One of them is the painter Moritz von Schwind (Eynor Ingesson).
Under the lilac tree Tschöll (Wilhelm Diegelmann) agrees to the marriage of his three daughters with the three young men, but while Schubert's friends marry, a misunderstanding prevents marriage between Schubert and Hannerl (Sybille Binder).
Schubert's circle of friends includes also the young Baron Franz von Schober (Conrad Veidt), against whose maneuvers his girlfriend Grisi (Anita Berber) warns Hannerl. Hannerl instead thinks Grisi warns her against Schubert, so she marries Schober instead, and Schubert is left alone.
In 1958, a new film version was made, Das Dreimäderlhaus (Ernst Marischka, 1958) with Karlheinz Böhm as Franz Schubert
