Anna Schramm , married Anna Bügler , (born April 8, 1835 in Reichenberg , Böhmen , † June 1, 1916 in Berlin ) was a German opera singer ( soprano ), soubrette and theater actress . Before the turn of the century, she was considered one of the most popular artists in the German Empire.
Life
Anna Schramm, a daughter of the soprano and actress Henriette Schramm-Graham (1803–1876) and the actor Nikolaus Schramm and sister of Auguste Schramm (after 1819–1854; singer and actress) and Amalie Schramm (1826–1907; soprano and actress) , was trained by her mother, who gave up her own stage career in 1844 and from then on focused on caring for her family. Anna schramm was already on the theater stage as a child, for example in Nuremberg in 1841, then in Dessau, Sondershausen , Rostock, Riga, Reval and in Cologne in 1852/1853, where she received dramatic lessons from Roderich Benedix . This was followed by stations in Königsberg, Gdansk and then Braunschweig, where she received training in singing from Franz Abt in addition to acting .
In 1861 she went to the Wallner Theater in Berlin, where she became a mainstay of the Berlin local posse until 1867, alongside Karl Helmerding , Theodor Reusche and others with operetta and soubrette roles. She was a member of the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Städtische Theater from 1867 to 1870 , then went on guest tours and, after her marriage in 1876 with the factory owner Ferdinand Conrad Bügler, retired from the stage to the house left by her mother in Kötzschenbroda. Since her husband had managed her fortune, she separated from him in 1882 and resumed her stage work as a soubrette . From 1888 she was a member of the Wallner Theater for the subject of comical old people , to which she also dedicated at the Royal Theater in Berlin from 1891 to 1912 .
In contemporary criticism, their tremendous freshness, combined with keen observation and a happy perception, was particularly emphasized.
After her mother's death in 1876, her sister Amalie, who had given up her own career in 1873, lived with her in Berlin.
Anna Schramm died on June 1, 1916 in Berlin at the age of 81. Her final resting place is in Cemetery I of the Jerusalem and New Churches in Berlin-Kreuzberg . A niche in the pedestal grave stele contains a marble bust of the dead made by the sculptor Johannes Boese . A small inscription plaque on the tombstone also reminds of Sister Amalie, whose own grave has not been preserved in the same cemetery.
