Erni Singerl

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Erni Singerl , actually Ernestine Kremmel , (born August 29, 1921 in Puch ; † July 30, 2005 in Munich ) was a German actress who was primarily known for her presence as a Bavarian folk actress . With energy, wit and assertiveness, she embodied the resolute, grumpy, but thoroughly good-hearted Munich “lady”.

Life

Erni Singerl was born on the journey from Donauwörth to Munich in the then still independent municipality of Puch. The birth register names property no. 7 as the place of birth, then called “zum Wirth”. However, it is unclear whether she was born in the tavern itself or in front of it in her parents' covered wagon. Probably for reasons of image cultivation, Erni Singerl always claimed to have been born in the Munich district of Schwabing , which is proven to be wrong.

Career

Radio and stage

At the age of ten, Erni Singerl performed with her accordion on the Münchner Kinderfunk . In 1937 she was discovered by the well-known Munich folk singer Weiß Ferdl , who was impressed by her singing and dancing skills and brought her to the Platzl . It was there that she got her stage name. After the Second World War , she celebrated her first successes on stage and with radio programs such as Die Weißblaue Drehorgel and Das Glücksradl .

Movie and TV

In the 1950s supporting roles in film productions were added. The actress, who is only 1.54 m tall, made her big breakthrough on television. At the end of the 1950s, Der Komödienstadel started on Bavarian radio. Here she was able to use and refine her skills to the full in over 50 roles over the course of four decades. She also played with folk actors such as Gustl Bayrhammer , Maxl Graf , Ludwig Schmid-Wildy and Max Grießer .

In addition to guest appearances in less demanding slapstick films and an excursion into the hit industry , she made numerous appearances in popular TV series in which she always embodied female roles with a loose mouth and a combative nature. Singerl became known throughout Germany from the 1980s, for example as the resolute housekeeper for Frau von Soettingen in Monaco Franze , as a contentious widow and campsite operator in Heidi and Erni , as the mother of baby Schimmerlos in Kir Royal , as the superstitious housekeeper Frau Eichinger in Meister Eder and his Pumuckl and perjury in Café .

Late years

She was on stage until old age. In the winter of 2003/04, at the age of 82, she danced a tango in the sold-out piece Erni Attacks in the Small Comedy at Max II in Munich . After the death of her colleague Toni Berger in January 2005, she was considered the last great Bavarian folk actress . She herself always referred to this title as an “honorary title” and “the highest award of the audience”.

Private life

Singerl's first marriage was a former Reichsbahner who died in 1945 on his way back from captivity . Her second marriage was to Georg Schropp for 30 years, who died in 1995. Singerl had a daughter.

Sickness and death

In March 2005, Erni Singerl suffered a faint attack while visiting Circus Krone . She had to be hospitalized again in July. On July 30, 2005, at the age of 83, she died of cancer in her house in Munich-Trudering and was buried with close family members in Munich's Ostfriedhof . Friends and the public were only informed of Singerl's death after the funeral.
