Life
Like his brothers, he was to go to university after graduating from high school, but he preferred to pursue agriculture. After working for a year, he went on a great journey that took him around the world for more than a year.
Eventually it settled in Berlin, where, in addition to music and painting, he dealt with the theater to the extent that he took dramatic lessons from Heinrich Oberländer . After a few months, however, he went to Vienna and here, stimulated by the impressions of the Burgtheater , he was forcibly pushed to the stage.
He made his debut in Meran in 1890, then came to Innsbruck in 1891, 1892 to Gera, 1893 to Potsdam, 1894 to Barmen, was at the Hoftheater Altenburg from 1895 to 1897, from 1897 to 1898 at the Berlin Theater and Theater des Westens and was united in 1898 for the United Won City Theater in Wroclaw. He worked there until 1902.
His further life is unknown.
