Eduard Janaz Franz Bornträger (born June 22, 1888 in Wiesbaden ; † March 9, 1958 in Berlin ) was a German actor who appeared primarily between 1930 and 1945 as a supporting actor in various German film productions.

Life

Eduard Bornträger initially studied art and theater history, but then turned to acting at an early age. He had his first theater engagement in 1912 in his hometown Wiesbaden, before he finally came to Berlin in 1930 via stations in Stettin, Frankfurt am Main and Stuttgart, where he played on various stages. In addition, he was also active in radio and dubbing work and took on his first film roles from the early 1930s.

In the mid-1930s, the actor intensified his film work and took part in several well-known German films, such as the literary film adaptation of Oscar Wilde's A Woman Without Meaning , The Castle in Flanders , Dance on the Volcano, or It was a glittering ball night . He was able to continue his acting career undiminished in the following war years until it slowly came to a standstill with the end of the Second World War . Although he worked for the East German film production company DEFA from 1950 , he was often only cast in episode roles, such as the doctor in Arthur Pohl's Pole Poppenspäler (1954), which is also one of his last film works.
