Carl-Heinz Boese

Carl-Heinz Boese , born Carl Heinrich Albert Otto Boese (born November 23, 1892 in Berlin ; † November 20, 1941 there ) was a German film director and radio maker (most recently director ).

Life

Boese had attended secondary school and then enjoyed stage training. In the first half of the 1920s he made a number of (less important) feature films. In 1924 he traveled to West Africa to continue the recordings that had been started in Liberia the year before by the African explorer and nature filmmaker Hans Schomburgk as part of an expedition, which were later cut into a feature film ( The Terror of the West Coast ). While Boese was responsible for the scenes on site, his colleague Josef Stein staged the studio scenes in Germany. Immediately afterwards, Boese also made recordings for a documentary, Zum Schneegipfel Afrikas . It was to be his last film work.

Back in Berlin, Boese joined radio in 1925. There he initially worked as a radio play speaker and reporter for the Norddeutscher Rundfunk in Hamburg . Immediately after the National Socialists came to power, Boese was appointed department head of the Deutschlandsender at the end of March 1933 and was promoted to deputy Reichsendleiter in December of the same year. In this function he was responsible for the radio technical support of party and state events. In 1939, Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels appointed him Reich Director , a position he last held at the Reichsender Danzig . Boese, who should not be confused with the much better known film director Carl Boese , died as a result of an accident on a business trip to the capital.
