Carl Sebastian Martin Wery de Lemans (born August 7, 1897 in Trostberg , Obb. , † March 14, 1975 in Munich ) was a German actor and radio play speaker .

Life

The civil servant's son, who comes from a Huguenot family, completed a commercial apprenticeship after graduating from high school and initially worked as an industrial clerk in a timber company, of which he was most recently director. Wery, who had already received acting lessons as a schoolboy, then decided on a stage career. He took private acting lessons from Fritz Ulmer and made his debut as Faust at the Bielefeld Theater in 1929 . He was then engaged for two years in Münster and from 1932 played in Berlin at the Renaissance Theater and the Schiller Theater . After 1934 he worked at the Münchner Kammerspiele until 1948 .

In 1932 he got his first film role, but for a long time he remained little known as a film actor. Only after the Second World War did he take on leading roles, often in collaboration with his wife, the screenwriter Erna Fentsch . The man with the unmistakable furrowed face became the ideal cast for difficult characters.

He was Kaspar from Brandner who tried to outsmart death. He played Colonel General Friedrich Fromm in It happened on July 20 , who half-heartedly sided with the Hitler assassins and then had them shot. Wery played the title role in The Perjury Farmer and was just as memorable as the indomitable Pastor Kneipp in Sebastian Kneipp - A Great Life . In The Green Devils of Monte Cassino he played more of the supporting role of a general.

In 1960, together with Annie Rosar, in the film Love Hangs on the Gallows , he embodied an old married couple who, during the Second World War, gave hospitality to friends and foes in Greece and died for it. He played the role of Ebenezer Scrooge convincingly in the television play A Christmas Carol in Prose or A Ghost Story for Christmas . He proved his comedic skills in the second part of the film adaptation of Ludwig Thomas Lausbubengeschichten ( Aunt Frieda - Neue Lausbubengeschichten ), filmed in 1965, as a terrifying educator ("Captain Semmelmaier") of little Ludwig Thoma ( Hansi Kraus ), who cuts off his beard. After that, Carl Wery had to withdraw into private life for health reasons.

Since 1947 he has also worked extensively as a radio play speaker , mainly for the Bavarian radio . In most productions he played one of the leading roles, such as in 1955 alongside Lina Carstens in the original radio play Philemon and Baucis , for which the author Leopold Ahlsen was awarded the prestigious radio play prize of the war blind the following year .

He was buried in the old Bogenhausen cemetery in Munich (grave wall right no. 1).
