Life

Kabel went to school in his native Hamburg. Through his school teacher Otto Ernst , who wrote poems and plays in his spare time, he came into contact with Low German , for which, after initially rejecting it, he developed a great love and passion. As a reciter of Low German poetry and stories, he appeared regularly with friends in the Small Hall of the Hamburg Music Hall and in the Hamburg Convent Garden , supported by various workers' theater associations .

In 1900, at the age of 21, he set up his own small print shop in the rear building of the Große Bleichen 30 property , where he printed club newspapers, magazines, brochures, brochures, posters and tickets. In 1915 Ernst Kabel was called up to the Fronttheater, where he performed in front of soldiers a. a. performed in Brussels , Namur , Bruges and Charleroi . He returned home in the war winter of 1917 and stayed in Hamburg from then on. He built up a middle-class existence with his printing company, which he was able to continue to run for the most part during the First World War . At times he ran the print shop with his brother Hans as a partner ; his wife and daughter often helped with folding work in the 1920s . In the context of the general global economic crisis , Ernst Kabel also got into financial difficulties with his printing company at the end of the 1920s. He headed the print shop and later the Ernst Kabel Verlag , which continued to exist after Kabel's death and was acquired in 1997 as an imprint by Piper Verlag .

In 1907 he married his wife Agnes, b. Oelkers († March 1956), whom he had met in a Hamburg theater association. Their daughter, after the marriage had remained childless for over 7 years, was the later popular actress Heidi Kabel, born in August 1914 . Ernst Kabel was also the best man in April 1937 when his daughter married the actor and director Hans Mahler .
