Camillo Kossuth
Camillo Kossuth (born September 21, 1888 in Vienna ; † February 24, 1963 , presumably in Göttingen ) was an Austro-German actor on the stage and film.
Live and act
Kossuth began his artistic career in the 1910s in the kuk province. After his debut in the northern Bohemian town of Brüx (today: Most ), Kossuth played at theaters in Bonn, Dresden and Hamburg from the beginning of the Weimar Republic before he came to Berlin. Born in Vienna, he was a member of the German Art Theater in 1930/31 under the direction of Heinz Hilpert . He then played at the Metropol Theater of the Rotter brothers, before he left Berlin shortly after the seizure of power in 1933 and from then on appeared in the German and (from 1938) German-occupied province. Until 1944 Camillo Kossuth could be seen at the city theaters of Memel , Teplitz-Schönau , Neiße and Mährisch-Ostrau . After 1945 Kossuth returned to his native Vienna for some time.
After the war, Camillo Kossuth stayed at a theater for many years without a firm commitment. He spent his twilight years in Göttingen, where he worked at the Deutsches Theater from 1955. This was where his former boss from the Hilpert German Art Theater had brought him. With small roles you could see Kossuth there in plays as diverse as Wendt's Hotel la Liberté , Shakespeare's King Lear and Oscar Wilde's Bunbury . When it came to film, Camillo Kossuth only made a few insignificant flying visits.
