Clara Salbach (born May 13, 1861 in Berlin , † January 30, 1944 in Dresden ; also Clara Hofmann-Salbach ) was a German theater actress .

Life

Salbach trained with Minona Frieb-Blumauer and made her debut as an actress in 1880 at the Weimar court theater . Engagements in Hanau, Mainz and Leipzig followed later. From 1889 she belonged to the ensemble of the Sächsisches Hoftheater Dresden , where she played the roles of Gretchen, Luise, Klärchen, Cordelia, Imogen, Desdemona, Hero, Porzia, Minna, Maria Stuart, Eboli and the Maid of Orleans.

In 1899 she married Jean Hofmann and was now called Hofmann-Salbach. Starting no later than 1902, the couple lived in today under monument protection standing Villa Salbach , Schulstraße 19 (now Ledenweg 39) in Niederlößnitz (today Radebeul ). Shortly after the First World War, Salbach moved into a city apartment near Dresden's Great Garden .

From 1912 onwards, Hofmann-Salbach changed to mother roles, which she played on the Dresden stage until 1931. In the 1920 film The Gallant King - August the Strong , she played the mother of the Elector. In 1932 she said goodbye after 43 years on stage. Hofmann-Salbach died in Dresden in 1944, the urn with its ashes was buried in the Tolkewitz urn grove . Your portrait hangs today in the ancestral gallery of the theater.

Awards

During her early theater years, Salbach was awarded the gold medal of merit for art and science by the then Duke Georg II of Saxony-Meiningen .

Already in her early years, the critics described her as one of the few “really brilliant natures among the acting women in Germany”, in particular “because of her main roles in Schiller”, but who was not only the “most poetic and richest in delicate grace” youthful heroine also has an “amazing register of furious passion”.

During her time in Dresden she was awarded the title of (Saxon) court actress .

On the occasion of her departure from the Dresden State Theater, she was made an honorary member of the stage, her portrait is still hanging in the ancestral gallery of the State Theater to this day.
