Life
Eichhorn studied music and theater studies in Munich and attended the State Academy of Music there . In 1929 he became Kapellmeister at the Bayerische Landesbühne, then at the Bavarian State Theater and finally at the Münchner Kammerspiele . In the 1931/32 season he worked at the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm .
In 1933/34 he conducted again at Munich theaters before he became music director of the municipal theaters in Dresden in 1934 . He stayed here until the general theater ban in 1944. From 1940 he became increasingly active as a film composer. He worked particularly often for productions by Helmut Käutner , but the Ludwig Ganghofer adaptations by film producer Peter Ostermayr and other homeland films were also accompanied by his music.
