There Edith Posca took up an engagement at the Theater am Nollendorfplatz . In the late phase of World War I , the artist first appeared in front of the camera at her husband's side. Edith Posca would also regularly take on the female lead in his subsequent productions up to 1923. Two roles stand out from her work: the track-keeper's daughter seduced by the railway inspector in the melodrama Schherd , with almost no subtitles , and the wife, who wrestles with her mother-in-law for her husband's affection on New Year's Eve . Sylvester was her last film, at the age of 31 she largely withdrew into private life.

A few months after the death of her husband, Edith Posca committed suicide.
