Life
The merchant's son received his artistic training from Franz Kierschner in Berlin at the end of the 1880s . He made his stage debut on October 3, 1889 in Stralsund . The next theater stations were Sondershausen , Potsdam , St. Petersburg and Elberfeld . In the first years of his artistic activity Zickner took up the subject of the adolescent lover, and since his engagement in Gera he has taken up the hero subject. Before the turn of the century, he accepted an offer to perform at the German-speaking Irving Place Theater in New York City .
“ One praises his lively declamation, his powerful organ, his temperament. He is a natural actor, through whose performances there is a trait of carefree naivety, which lets him act as he is at the moment, even in the greatest affect. This is the complete lack of any reflection, which corresponds so completely to the innermost character of popular heroic figures ”, as it is in Eisenberg's Lexicon of the German Stage in the XIX. Century on page 1161 is called. These heroic characters covered almost the entire range of roles in classical spoken theater: Zickner played Hamlet , Wilhelm Tell , Orest , Faust , Karl Moor and Othello .
Active in film for the first time shortly before the outbreak of World War I , Zickner made a remarkable debut with the Tyrolean freedom hero Josef Speckbacher in Carl Froelich's historical drama Tyrol in Arms . His later roles in front of the camera were far less significant, and over the years his film roles became smaller and smaller. Most recently, in the sound film of the 1930s, he was only allowed to perform tiny batch appearances.
