Elisabeth Samblowsky

Elisabeth Samblowsky , born Florentine Auguste Elisabeth Margarete Samblowsky (born June 21, 1899 in Brussels ; † October 29, 1985 in Düren ) was a German actress who, from a national-socialist point of view, was of "half-Jewish" origin from 1933 to 1945 .

Samblowsky was born out of wedlock. Her parents were Konrad Robert Creutz and Elise Sambrowsky. Elisabeth grew up in Cologne , where the family moved in 1903. She was baptized as a Protestant on August 9, 1908 in Cologne . In 1928 she found a job at WDR . From 1933 she was no longer employed there because she could not show an ancestral passport .

The theater director Erna Flecke-Schiefenbusch forged the ancestral passport so that Samblowsky could become a member of the Reichstheaterkammer on January 1, 1934 , because this was the only way she could be employed at the theater and Schiefenbusch did not want to do without her.

From 1965 until her death Samblowsky lived in Niederau with her friend Elisabeth Teffer-Müller, a make- up artist at the municipal theater.

Samblowsky worked at the Düren City Theater from 1937 to 1944 . At that time, the artistic director was Erna Flecke-Schiefenbusch.
