Caroline Zimdar , married Caroline Scholz (* 1779 in Hamburg ; † January 24, 1847 in Berlin ) was a German actress and singer. After 1800 she appeared under her married name as Mad. Scholz .
Life
Caroline Zimdar was the daughter of the actor, director and playwright Karl Friedrich Zimdar (1753–1792) and the actress and singer Catharina Justina Benda (* 1757, † after 1815), daughter of the composer Georg Anton Benda . In 1778, together with his son and daughter, he was brought to Hamburg by theater director Friedrich Ludwig Schröder von Gotha for a few months.
Accompanied by her parents, Caroline Zimdar appeared in children's roles from the age of three, for example in Prague and Dresden (under the direction of Pasquale Bondini ), Breslau, Hamburg, Schleswig. After her father committed suicide in 1792, Caroline Zimdar and her mother found engagement in Breslau, where Justina Zimdar married the actor Adolph Noel Blanchard (1765-1832) in 1797.
The famous actor, director and writer Maximilian Scholz (1744–1834) and his wife Edmunda , née Tilly, who died there in 1797 , also belonged to the theater ensemble in Breslau . Three years later, Caroline Zimdar and the widower married. After Maximilian Scholz retired in 1821, the family moved from Breslau to Berlin in 1824 when Caroline Scholz was hired at the new Königstädtische Theater .
It is known of the couple's three sons that Ludwig Scholz appeared in child roles according to the list of actors in 1826 and that R. Scholz was listed as an actor in the Berlin address book for 1828; In later almanacs, however, both cannot be clearly assigned to the family due to the frequency of the surname.
After she left the stage around 1829, Caroline Scholz opened a coffee house in Pankow near Berlin and cared for her very old husband until he died in 1834.
