Arthur Teuber
Arthur Teuber (born August 5, 1875 in Neisse ; † September 7, 1944 in Berlin ) was a German screenwriter and director .
Life
Born in Lower Silesia, Teuber completed an artistic training at the age of 20 and began his professional career in 1896 as a stage actor. Ten years later he made contact with film for the first time. Teuber's film activity only took shape in the late phase of the First World War, when the director Richard Eichberg brought him over and had him write scripts. In 1920 Teuber also directed films for the first time, and in some of his works his wife, the actress Jutta Jol , played the leading role. After just a few years and largely unsuccessful productions, Arthur Teuber received no more directing assignments.
From then on, Teuber had to be content with marginal employment . Even in the 3rd Reich, where he stood out as a committed National Socialist, he was hardly allowed to do more than auxiliary work. His former mentor Eichberg brought him in 1937 to film his two-part film The Tiger of Eschnapur / The Indian Tomb .
Heavily indebted, Teuber was allowed to do minor ancillary work for the film bank in 1939 with the help of the State Secretary in the Propaganda Ministry, Karl Hanke . Arthur Teuber, who was now 65 years old, was finally given the post of head of department at the UFA 's foreign film press through Hitler's future head of the firm, Martin Bormann .
