Live and act
At the theater
The granddaughter of the writer Friedrich Gerstäcker and daughter of the writer Marie Huch received her artistic training from Adolf Winds in Dresden. In the autumn of 1903, Elisabeth Huch began her first stage engagement in Heidelberg. Exactly one year later she reached Berlin and was initially committed to the New Theater, and later to the German Theater. In a very short time Elisabeth Huch played numerous leading roles in the classical theater business: Juliet (in Romeo and Juliet ), Hilde Wangels (in Ibsen's master builder Solness ), Elektra, Hedda Gabler , Salome, Thérèse Raquin , Renate in Max Half the stream, Regine (in Ibsen's Ghosts ), Titania (in A Midsummer Night's Dream ), Minna (in Minna von Barnhelm ) and Jessica (in The Merchant of Venice ).
Even before the outbreak of World War I, further engagements followed, this time to the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus under the direction of Louise Dumont and to the Neue Volkstheater Berlin under the direction of Adolf Edgar Licho . Huch's most fertile phase was the seven years she worked at the Munich Schauspielhaus from 1919 to 1925 under the direction of Hermine Körner . It was also Körner that Elisabeth Huch took with her when she subsequently switched to the management of the Albert Theater in Dresden. In the early 1930s, Elisabeth Huch was still fetched from venues in Münster and Schwerin, before she no longer tied herself firmly to a theater as a freelancer in the course of the same decade. Instead, the artist shifted her work more and more towards acting classes.
Private
Elisabeth Huch's relationship with the conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler , who has been known to her since 1911 , resulted in a daughter, Friederike Huch, in 1921. According to the daughter's statement, Furtwängler wanted to marry Elisabeth Huch, but she refused, allegedly because she was (slightly) older than him.
