Alfred Stöger (born July 21, 1900 in Möllersdorf , Lower Austria ; † January 12, 1962 in Mödling , Lower Austria) was an Austrian stage actor, film director and film producer .

Live and act

The native of Lower Austria began studying art history and philosophy in Vienna shortly after the end of the First World War and completed his doctorate . He began his stage career in 1922 as an actor in Darmstadt . In 1923 Stöger went to Dresden , where he was able to work as a director for the first time the following year. In 1926 he was appointed senior director at the United Municipal Theater in Kiel for four years .

In 1930 Stöger came to Berlin , where he initially appeared as director and dramaturge of the strongly Catholic passion plays. Later he found one or the other small role at the Schiller Theater or at the summer stage in Ehrenfriedersdorf .

After years of less successful activity at the theater, the Austrian finally switched to German film, for which, after a short assistantship in 1935/36 (with “ Viktoria ”, “ Family Parade ”, “ People with the Sunstroke ”, “ White Slaves ”) he has been working since Was able to work as a director in early autumn 1936. Until May 1939, Stöger directed an abundance of short films, with the 1937 German version of Marc Allégret's “ La dame de Malacca ”, “ Other World ”, from which he directed dialogue.

In the late spring of 1938, the Bavarian nature film producer Hubert Schonger signed Stöger for two fairy tale film adaptations (“ Schneeweißchen und Rosenrot ”, “ Tischlein deck dich ”). It was not until the summer of 1939 that Stöger finally seemed to succeed in making full-length feature films, but the war prevented continued employment. After only three completely irrelevant productions, Stöger returned to Vienna at the end of the war.

There he founded his own production company, the Wiener Mundus-Film , in 1946 , with which he made his theatrical productions. Stöger's post-war work is disappointing and of considerable banality. In the late 1950s he concentrated on directing theater productions and filmed several plays, often under the direction of Leopold Lindtberg . These include the theater classics Wilhelm Tell , Don Carlos and Maria Stuart . In addition, Stöger produced several comedies with Hans-Joachim Kulenkampff . In 1961 Stöger ended his film career and in the same year was appointed lecturer at the Institute for Theater Studies. He died just a few months later near Vienna.
