Berta Monnard

Live and act
The actor's daughter was already on stage as a three-year-old child and was cast at the beginning of her professional career in the early 1890s at the Nuremberg City Theater in the subject of the lively and naive. In 1894 Bertha Monnard came to the City Theater of Frankfurt am Main, in 1897 to the Munich Court Theater. From the beginning of the 20th century until the 1950s, numerous engagements at Berlin theaters followed, including the stages Kleines Theater, Lessingtheater, Deutsches Künstlertheater (Saltenburg-Bühnen), Metropol-Theater, Die Tribüne, Lustspielhaus, Komödie and the Theater am Kurfürstendamm. Monnard's early brilliant roles included Franziska in Lessing's Minna von Barnhelm , the Puck in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream and Ännchen in Max Halbe's youth .
During her time in Berlin, for the first time shortly after the end of the First World War , Bertha Monnard also appeared in front of the camera for some less important film productions. Nevertheless, the artist never really felt at home with film; Even the sound film offered her little more than batch appearances. She gave her farewell ideas on the screen in two early, upscale DEFA productions in 1949/50 . Bertha Monnard has also worked as a radio play speaker.
