Alexander Köckert (actor, 1821)
Alexander Köckert , also Alexander Kökert (born February 16, 1821 in Teplitz , † August 29, 1869 in Miltitz ) was a German theater actor .
Life
At the request of his parents, he was supposed to become a doctor, but the sudden death of his father prompted him to go to the stage in order to become more independent. He took the stage in Ceske Budejovice for the first time without any special preparation or training for this profession. From there he came to Klagenfurt and from here to Dresden. He devoted himself to the amateur subject, but found such a large number of rivals in Dresden that he was hardly employed at all.
He therefore took up an engagement in Breslau in 1844, soon after in Prague and was in Hamburg from 1846 to 1855, from where he responded to a call to Frankfurt from 1855 to 1858. Afterwards he was in Leipzig, from 1861 to 1863 at the Hoftheater Mannheim and from 1863 until his death at the Hoftheater in Petersburg.
