biography

Born in Bronislaus Lopinski, he made his debut as an extra at the Berlin Schillertheater in 1894 . After a stopover at the Schmierenbühne by Eugen Ortlieb-Helmuth (1896), he was engaged at the Berlin Rose Theater in 1897 . Further stations were the Stadttheater Lüneburg (1898), the Ernst-Drucker-Theater in Hamburg (1899), the Stadttheater in Reval (1900), the Stadttheater in Mülheim an der Ruhr (1901/02), the Stadttheater in Glogau (1903 / 04) and the summer theater in Wernigerode (1905). Lopinski then went on an extensive theater tour through Germany until 1908, before translating from Hamburg to the USA in June 1908 and performing at the Deutsches Theater in New York in the following 1908/09 season.

In 1910 he returned to Berlin for an engagement at the Hebbel Theater . The following year Lopinski contacted the cinema. He occasionally took on minor roles as an actor in early silent films, including during his military service in 1914/18, and also worked as a production and assistant director (so in 1914/15 at Der Katzensteg and 1916 at Arcanum ). In the course of the 1920s, he switched to recording management, for example in 1923/24 for Das Paradies im Schnee and Quo Vadis? , 1925 for Husarenfieber , 1927 for Die Sandgräfin und Das Frauenhaus von Rio , 1928 for Die Geliebte His Highness and Angst .

With the beginning of the sound film era, Bruno Lopinski established himself as a production manager and served several production companies, most recently primarily for Majestic Film . In 1940 Lopinski was to take over the production management of the propaganda film Kampfgeschwader Lützow . However, he fell ill with dysentery and had to go to the sick bed. After his recovery, Lopinski was no longer employed in film, despite his written approval, even though he was repeatedly discussed in a number of films such as The Jungfern vom Bischofsberg , The Roedern Affair and The Old Song, shot from 1942 to 1944 .

From the end of the war until 1949, Lopinski was busy with smaller tasks at DEFA , after which he was still seen with tiny roles in DEFA productions. In the 1950s he moved to the artist retirement home Marie-Seebach-Stift in Weimar, where he died in 1961.
