Life

Gravestone for Annie Kalmar

After she had acquired routine in small theaters, she went to Vienna. There took Rosa Keller Frauenthal their further education. From 1895 to 1900 she played at the Deutsches Volkstheater Vienna . In 1900 she moved to the Deutsches Schauspielhaus Hamburg , but could no longer perform because of her consumption of tuberculosis . She died when she was only 23 years old. She was buried in the Ohlsdorf cemetery in Hamburg. However, on December 15, 1903, she was reburied in the so-called rose garden (location: J 9 70) in order to be able to erect the now completed tomb with her portrait as a relief. Karl Kraus paid for the reburial and the large tomb . Due to the amendment of the Cemetery Act 1982, "graves for the duration of the cemetery" were also limited in the Ohlsdorf cemetery, so that Annie Kalmar's lay time was also ended. Her stone, a stele with a portrait relief by the Austrian sculptor Richard Tautenhayn , has been in the women's garden since 2000 (location: P 27).
