Career

Stieler was mainly active as a theater actor. From 1918 he belonged to the ensemble of the Bavarian State Theater . He directed the world premiere of Hofmannsthal's comedy Der Schwierige at the Residenztheater in Munich. After a short time at the Münchner Kammerspiele , he returned to the Staatsschauspiel in 1951.

He made his film debut in 1913 in the silent film Emilia Galotti . This was followed by the silent films Die Gespensterfalle (1919), Where you are, my love will be (1920) and Der Schicksalstag (1921). After that, it took almost 20 years until Stieler - now in the sound film - stepped back in front of the camera.
