Ernst Lothar (actor)
Ernst Lothar , born Lothar Ernst Saure , (born December 4, 1923 in Voerde near Hagen, German Empire , † May 19, 1982 in Oberhausen ) was a German actor in the stage, film and television industry, who occasionally went on excursions to radio plays and theater direction undertook.
Live and act
The son of the factory owner Gustav Saure and his wife Luise, née Clever, received acting lessons from Margarethe Wellhoener in the early 1940s and made his debut at the Berlin Schillertheater in 1941 . In the same year he was engaged at the theater of the German-occupied Moravian city of Iglau during World War II , before he was drafted in 1942. Lothar served as a soldier until the end of the war in 1945 and returned to stages in Bavaria (Munich and Landshut) after the war. In addition, the artist also went on guest tours with veteran UFA stars Lil Dagover and Kristina Söderbaum .
In 1951, the year in which he made his film debut alongside Hannelore Schroth in the comedic Zeitbild Kommen Sie am First by Just Scheu and Ernst Nebhut , Lothar accepted a call to Bremen. After only one season he moved to the Small Theater in the Zoo in Frankfurt am Main. From 1955 to 1958 he was engaged at the Hamburger Kammerspiele , from 1959 at the Junge Theater in Stuttgart. Other stage stops included the Hebbel Theater in Berlin, the Theater im Zimmer in Hamburg, the Düsseldorf Comedy , the Jagsthausen Festival , the City Theater Lucerne and, last season, the Theater am Dom in Cologne, the Theater an der Rott in Eggenfelden ( where he worked as a director ) and the Oberhausen Theater . Lothar's appearances in front of film and television cameras were of little significance; what is worth mentioning is his interpretation of the anti-Nazi resister Lieutenant Werner von Haeften in July 20 , Falk Harnack's reconstruction of the assassination attempt on Hitler in 1944. He was also sporadically speaking for various radio plays German broadcasters.
In numerous sources, parts of Lothar's biography and filmography are mixed up with that of the Viennese theater-maker Ernst Lothar , which ultimately even led to an exchange of letters between the two Ernst Lothar in 1954. Lothar Ernst Saure / Ernst Lothar died, only 58 years old, surprisingly in his last place of work in Oberhausen.
