Life

The father of the actress Nadja Tiller received private acting lessons from the Burgtheater actor Joseph Lewinsky and the reciter and actor Alexander Strakosch (1845–1909) in his hometown of Vienna at the turn of the century , before he began his career in 1901 at the Theater in der Josefstadt . In 1902 he followed a call to the Stadttheater Baden , Lower Austria , and in 1903 another to the Raimund Theater in Vienna .

In 1906 he went to the Hoftheater zu Dresden via Brno and Bern , followed by engagements at the German Theater in Prague and at the Royal Theater in Hanover . Drafted during the First World War, Anton Tiller served as the head of a front theater. In later years he also worked primarily as a theater director. In 1939/40 Tiller was director of the Vienna City Theater . Since 1943 he concentrated on guest tours. During these tours he worked as a reciter ( Faust I ).

Active in film since the late phase of World War I, Tiller played in leading roles dignitaries and men of all kinds, initially (1919/20) several times as a partner in the Hungarian screen diva Lucy Doraine , directed by Michael Kertesz (later Michael Curtiz ) . Soon his roles were reduced to batch format. Tiller rarely appeared in sound films: he was seen in 1933 as Archduke Peter Stefan in Mein Liebster ist ein Hägersmann and most recently (1956) alongside his daughter Nadja in Ich sucht Dich .

Anton Tiller was married to the actress Erika Körner (actually: Erika Tiller; 1902–1979). The common grave is located in the Vienna Central Cemetery (group 2, row 2, number 21).
