Life

Barthels was born as the son of Friedrich Wilhelm Ernst Barthels and Magdalena Katheininger. He was the grandson of Johann Baptist Barthels, who held an influential position as a valet for a Queen of Hanover.

Ernst Barthels studied literature and art history and then completed his training as an actor at Otto König's drama and rhetoric school in Munich. As early as 1910 he appeared in the rehearsals of Albert Steinrück and took part in the world premiere of Gustav Meyrink 's Albino in the old comedy theater. At that time he was particularly popular as a speaker in Paul Brann 's puppet theater . His engagements in Davos and at the City Theater Bern he needed for convening the First World War end. Due to a serious wound that led to the premature end of his war mission, he was awarded the Military Cross of Merit by the Bavarian King in 1916 . After his recovery he went to the Künstlerhaus in Esslingen for four years. From 1920 he came to the Bavarian State Theater via the Münchner Kammerspiele and the Volkstheater . On March 18, 1944, the Residenztheater was destroyed by a bomb attack.

With the performance of Nathan the Wise , in which Barthels embodied the role of the dervish, the state theater was inaugurated on May 18, 1946, and found its new venue in the Theater am Brunnenhof between rubble and ruins. Barthels belonged to the ensemble of the Bavarian State Theater for around 40 years and was appointed state actor three times (first in 1927 and last time in 1956). In addition to the impersonation of leading roles, he mastered the art of batch play . He was also always a reliable performer for dialect characters. In recognition of his Thoma roles, for which he was as famous as he was popular, the artistic director of the Bavarian State Theater presented him with a special edition of "Ludwig Thoma-Collected Works" on the occasion of his 35-year membership and his 70th birthday.

From 1939 to 1974 he played alongside the theater in numerous television programs and series as well as films. He had his first role in 1939 in Fasching , where he was seen as senior tax secretary together with Carl Wery and Liesl Karlstadt . With his Munich tone, Barthels shone several times in the Royal Bavarian District Court and in the comedy nobility . He played his last television role in 1974 in "Die Kurpfuscherin", at the side of Maria Schell . He said goodbye to the stage in 1973 at the Salzburg Festival in Noelte's Misanthropic production, where he received great acclaim in no less than thirteen appearances.

Barthels was buried in the forest cemetery in Munich , old part. He left behind his wife, the theater actress Dorothea Hildegard Barthels-Schelenz (born April 3, 1920, † March 1, 1992), with whom he had been married since 1945, and their children, Helge Barthels, Claudia Barthels-Kolatacz and Gerda Feldmann. He did not live to see the birth of his grandchildren Lydia Ashraf, Werner Barthels and Helge Barthels.

Barthels was a member of the Munich actors and artists association "Die Hölle". In 1957 he was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit.
