Carl Voscherau

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Hans August Voscherau (born December 24, 1900 in Hamburg ; † August 24, 1963 there ) was a German actor , radio play and voice actor . After completing a commercial apprenticeship, he became a tax officer.

Life

Carl was the son of the messenger Carl Heinrich Voscherau and the Wiebke Catharina Dorothea Möller. Carl and his brother Walter had the urge to take the stage early on: Carl took acting lessons from Franz Kreidemann , Walter had an appealing baritone and took singing lessons. They played together as Volksbühne players in the theater associations that were widespread at the time, especially the labor movement: Volksspielbühne Thalia, Volksspielbühne Club Concordia, Volksspielbühne “Rideamus” etc., including Richard Ohnsorg's “Niederdeutsche Bühne e. V. ". Performances began around 1919 and continued until 1944; then the theater was stopped because of the bombing raids. The pieces were mostly performed in the bomb-destroyed convent garden, but also in the people's homes of the workers' movement.

Grave of Carl Voscherau

As a Social Democrat employed by the tax authorities , Carl became unemployed in 1933. Thereupon he worked as a banter and was brought in 1940 by Richard Ohnsorg to his "Low German Stage" and in 1946 by Willy Maertens to the Thalia Theater . His brother Walter became known under the stage name Walter Scherau at the Ohnsorg Theater in Hamburg , while Carl himself was involved in a similar role.

As the "Schnubbelwubbel" at the annual Christmas fairy tale in the Thalia Theater, he is still unforgettable in Hamburg. He was both director and responsible for opening the curtain. It was his haunting saying, "Curtain, listen, we ask you, open, open, open", which he and the many children shouted over and over until the fairy tale began.

He lent his voice as a voice actor , among others, Lou Jacobi ( A Kid's life ) and James Robertson Justice ( Doctor Ahoy! , Storm Over the Nile , Underworld ).

As a radio play speaker he was heard at NWDR Hamburg and its later legal successor, the NDR, in numerous productions in different genres, including several dialect radio plays , in which he mostly appeared with the former "Ohnsorg colleagues", such as in 1950 with Heidi Kabel and Otto Lüthje in Paul Schurek's comedy Lünkenlarm .

After Just Scheu's death in 1956, he took over as “foster father” until his own death in 1963, as the moderator of the NDR radio lottery .

Carl married Martha geb. Lohmann (1906-1971). They were the parents of Henning Voscherau , who was First Mayor of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg from 1988 to 1997, and Eggert Voscherau , who was Chairman of the Supervisory Board of BASF SE from 2009 to 2014 .

Carl Voscherau rests in the Ohlsdorf cemetery .
