Carl Iban

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Iban (born July 26, 1875 in Berlin , † October 5, 1940 in France ) was a German actor .

Iban began his theater career in 1898. For the next three decades he traveled all over the German and Swiss provinces. His stage stations, which he visited as an actor but also as a singer and director , include Colmar , Rudolstadt , Aachen , Zittau , Metz , Flensburg , Bern and Basel , Koblenz , Beuthen , Brandenburg and Leipzig . Iban also worked as a senior director at the small theater in the latter city.

At a young age, the beefy, stocky artist with the broad bald head made a name for himself primarily as a character comedian; he played weird and bizarre types of all kinds, mainly in comedies and pranks. Later also father roles were added. Until 1929 Iban also worked as a stage manager. In 1931 he went to Berlin to lease the Schlossparktheater , and two years later in the same position at Leipzig's Kammerspiele.

Iban was almost 60 years old when he first stepped in front of the camera. In the remaining five years of his life he took part in a plethora of entertainment films with small and small roles. Iban served the subject of the classic batch and covered the entire range of roles of jovial and subordinate characters: from servants and drinking brothers to waiter to executioner or Moroccan sheik. Almost at the same time, from 1935 to 1939, he also appeared on the Reichsautobahnbühne and the construction storage platform. Carl Iban died in France during a Wehrmacht tour.
