Eduard Eichenwald (born June 1, 1859 in Riga , † November 10, 1895 in Hanover ) was a German theater actor .

Life

Eduard Eichenwald came from a family of actors: his father Wilhelm Eichenwald and his grandfather of the same name Wilhelm Eichenwald and his sister Marie Eichenwald were all theater actors as well.

Eichenwald began his career at the Residenztheater in Dresden (1876–1878) and was then engaged in Bremen . He later appeared at the city theaters in Cologne and Nuremberg, then in Moscow , where the theater fire that broke out on December 6, 1885 before the performance began, so terrified the artist that he suffered his first epileptic fits.

In 1887 he became a member of the ensemble of the court theater in Meiningen , but was again attacked by this disease in April 1888 during a guest performance in Antwerp at a performance of William Tell , from which he no longer recovered. He died in Hanover on November 10, 1895.
