Life

Dietz, the daughter of the actor Carl Dietz , entered the stage as a four-year-old child (she only had to say “Papa”, but that was “very nice”) in a benefit performance of her father. She was then used for children's roles, for example as a "boy" in Tell , Götz etc.

Although she was the darling of the Prague theater audience even then, her father did not want to make up his mind to give his consent to a stage career. It was only when Marie Frey made him urgent ideas not to suppress such a pronounced talent that he gave his approval, and Dietz made his debut on March 1, 1853 as “Ida” in the Last Medication (her lover “Baron Gluthen” played her father) and everything prophesied her, thanks to her good training, her wonderful facilities, a decidedly brilliant stage career. However, all kinds of circumstances only allowed her to work in Prague until 1858, and the general regret was the departure of this esteemed and popular force.

She first took up engagement in Regensburg, then in Brno, then came to Franz Wallner in Berlin, then to the Schwerin court theater (artistic director Franz Thomé ), and in 1861 to Königsberg. There she was active in the field of the first lovers and the youthful salon ladies and her versatility could not be praised and recognized enough. She was celebrated as a “Parisian good-for-nothing” as “Louise” in Kabale und Liebe and as “Duchess” in a glass of water .

Nonetheless, she soon left the stage, which she only entered on the occasion of a guest performance at the invitation of Franz Thomé in Prague as “Grille” and “Anneliese”. Art had lost an excellent representative in it. Dietz married Ottomar Beyer, head of the court and university bookstore Calve in Prague.
