Andrews Engelmann
Andrews Engelmann , also Andrews Engelman (born March 23, 1901 in St. Petersburg , † February 25, 1992 in Basel ; born Andrei Engelman ) was a German-Baltic international actor .
Life
The son of a businessman graduated from high school in 1918 and began studying medicine at the Military Medical Academy in St. Petersburg in 1919. In 1921 he fled the Soviet Union via Finland to Berlin. In 1922 he continued his studies here at the Friedrich Wilhelms University . With the Nansenpass, he gained the mobility that was advantageous for his future career.
During the semester break he worked in France and made his first film appearances in 1924. The Parisian Théâtre des Variétés hired him as a dancer, and he took part in tours of France and a guest appearance in Brussels. In 1926 he was noticed in the American film Mare Nostrum as a fanatical German submarine commander. The bald actor was set as a villain from then on. In 1929 he appeared in Georg Wilhelm Pabst's Diary of a Lost for the first time in a German film as the sadistic exploiter of difficult-to-educate girls.
In German films at the time of National Socialism, he was subscribed to malicious Soviet functionaries as in Refugees or infamous British officers as in Over Everything in the World and Carl Peters . Until the outbreak of the war, the stateless Engelmann was still involved in international film , it was not until the Second World War that his film globetrotting temporarily ended. Shortly before the end of the war, he fled the film studios in Prague and from 1946 settled in Viroflay near Paris. He continued to impersonate bad guys like the killer in The Secret of Mayerling . In 1953 he moved to Basel and became a Swiss citizen.
After one last film, in which he played a prison director, he turned away from acting altogether and became an independent manufacturer of air conditioning equipment for industry and telecommunications. Engelmann was married to the actress Charlotte Susa since 1939 .
