Christoph Blümel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christoph Blümel (* around 1630 in Bolków ; † unknown; also Blüemel , Blumel , Plieml , Blimel ) was a German actor .

Christoph Blümel enrolled at the Alma Mater Viadrina in Frankfurt an der Oder in 1649 . In 1654 he was first proven as an actor. He first worked as an actor and writer for the English theater principal Joris Jolliphus , who wounded him in an argument in 1655. In the winter of 1656/57 he made a guest appearance under the direction of Johann Ernst Hoffmann and Peter Schwarz at the court of Elector Karl Ludwig von der Pfalz in Heidelberg . In the summer of 1657 he worked again for Jolliphus, who asked the Nuremberg Council for the release of Christoph Blümel, because Blümel had been arrested because of a breach of marriage promise to the landlord's daughter Maria Katharina Huebner. In 1659 Christoph Blümel was placed in the service of Archduke Ferdinand Karl at the Innsbruck court, together with Johann Ernst Hoffmann, Peter Schwarz, Ursula Hoffmann, Rebecca Schwarz, Johann Christoph Pernegger, Johann Wohlgehaben, Hans Martin and other comedians . After the death of Ferdinand Karl in 1662, Blümel united with a majority of the comedians formerly appointed at the Innsbruck court under the direction of Hoffmann and Schwarz to form the so-called Innsbruck comedians. After a guest performance at the Heidelberg court in 1667, the troupe received a gaming privilege and title for the Electoral Palatinate . With the death of Johann Ernst Hoffmann around 1669, the core force disintegrated. Christoph Blümel joined Hoffmann's widow Ursula and married her. Presumably he died before 1676, as he did not enter the service of Johann Christian von Eggenberg at the court theater in Český Krumlov like her .
