Alfred Beierle

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alfred Beierle , as Paul Alfred Beier , (born June 4, 1885 in Berlin , † March 16, 1950 in Berlin) was a German theater and film actor.

Life

After Alfred Beierle graduated from the drama school of the German Theater founded by Max Reinhardt , he started his acting career at various Berlin theaters until he finally became director of the Lessing Theater . In the 1920s he was one of the critical intellectuals of the Berlin theater and cabaret scene and also made a name for himself as a reciter . He worked for radio, ran a small record company under the name Die Neue Truppe and also appeared in Trude Hesterberg's cabaret Wilde Bühne . He also played in almost 50 films, first as an actor in silent films, then also in sound films. Beierle joined the SPD in 1924 and remained a member until 1930.

In April 1934 Beierle went to western countries for some time. In the Netherlands , he contacted groups of emigrants, which the German embassy in The Hague learned about. When he became aware of his participation in the popular play Das Veilchen vom Potsdamer Platz in 1936 , the embassy informed German authorities in Berlin about Beierle's contacts. As a result, Beierle, who had meanwhile returned home, was expelled from both the Reich Theater Chamber and the Film Student Council in 1936. The allegations were that Beierle had "insulted the Führer" and "incited against Germany" abroad. On November 4, 1936, Beierle was deported to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp . He was released on September 24, 1937, but was no longer allowed to work as an artist until 1945. After the war he was seen in three productions. His last film was 12:15 a.m., room 9 , which hit theaters in 1950. In the same year Beierle died, who was remembered by the audience as a character actor.
