Anna Meyer-Glenk (* 1886 in Munich ; † December 1958 in Freiburg im Breisgau ) was a German actress who left traces of her work, especially in Peine , where she is considered the "mother of the Peiner Theater", and in Hanover .

Life

Anna Glenk was a permanent member of the ensemble at the Royal Theater in Hanover from 1909 to 1912 . Later she had a guest engagement at the Munich court theater . Glenk mainly played the role of the tragic heroine and the tragic heroine. Her stage roles included: the title role in Iphigenie auf Tauris (including 1920, 1923 and 1924), Adelheid von Walldorf in Götz von Berlichingen (1924), Countess Orsina in The Fiesco Conspiracy in Genoa (1922), Goneril in King Lear (1923) and Volumnia in Coriolan (1924). After her return to Hanover, she continued to appear regularly as a guest at the Schauspielhaus Hanover, but no longer accepted a permanent engagement.

She married yet at the time of the German Empire in 1914, the Chairman of the Ilseder hut , Wilhelm Meyer .

Meyer-Glenk was able to convince her husband to create "[...] a place for cultural events in Peine ." And so the Peiner Walzwerk , which Meyer-Glenk's husband also presided over as chairman of the supervisory board, acquired a building on October 1, 1920 that had previously served as a restaurant several times. The architect Anton van Norden commissioned for the renovation began with partial demolition work on January 3, 1921, but damage to the building soon found required the almost complete demolition of the old structure. For the reopening of the Pein Festival Halls on May 13, 1922, Friedrich Schiller's play The Maiden of Orléans was performed - and Anna Meyer-Glenk played the title role of Joan of Arc .

Meanwhile - in the middle of the First World War  - the daughter and later founder of the Peiner Foundation Anna Margret Janovicz (1917-2017) was born on May 4, 1917 in Hanover .

For Anna Meyer-Glenk, the "mother of the Peiner Theater", a bust of the actress had already been placed in the foyer of the Peiner Theater in 2002.

Remarks

  1. ↑ Deviating from this, the paz inadvertently names Gerhard Meyer as the husband of Anna Glenk, who, however, was her father-in-law, who died soon after.
