Artur Hohenberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Artur Hohenberg , also Arthur Hohenberg , (born July 3, 1886 in Vienna , Austria-Hungary , † January 22, 1938 in Berlin ) was an Austrian producer in German film.

Life

Very little is known about Hohenberg's life. He initially worked in film sales (Artur Hohenberg Film-Vertrieb, Berlin SW 48, Friedrichstrasse 5/6) and later also in film production. In 1927/28 he was director of the short-lived production company Hom-Film, where he made some early films by Carl Lamac (director) and Anny Ondra (drama). In 1928 Hohenberg conducted unsuccessful negotiations with Arthur Schnitzler regarding the filming of one of his works. In the same year he had a great success with the Luis Trenker mountaineering film The Battle for the Matterhorn .

At the beginning of the sound film era, Hohenberg resumed its production activities with the production of Lamac-Ondra productions, this time under the production umbrella of the leading actress and her in-house director. Over the next five years, all three involved formed a solid team before Hohenberg was excluded from production in 1935. From then on, sidelined by the National Socialists, he tried to leave Germany. Finally, Artur Hohenberg committed suicide in January 1938 "because his passport was withdrawn," as it is said. He was buried in Austria on January 30, 1938.
