Life

Ernst Petermann was born on May 13, 1889 in Berlin, near Alexanderplatz . He completed a commercial apprenticeship at the German Agricultural Society and became a civil servant. He later worked as an editorial secretary at Union Deutsche Verlagsgesellschaft. He made his debut as an original humorist with self-written lectures before the First World War .

In the 1920s and 30s, Petermann worked in Berlin as a writer, playwright and lecturer, as well as an emcee on the radio . As a singer, who occasionally followed in the footsteps of the legendary Otto Reutter , he recorded records with Deutsche Grammophon and Lindström's Gloria label, with the Otto Kermbach Orchestra and the Heyn Quartet , among others . As a hit writer, he worked with composers like Emil Palm , Otto Rathke and Joseph Snaga , and after 1945 with Raymund Müller-Marc , Hans-Arno Simon and others.

In Berlin he has performed at almost all of the major theaters such as the Apollo Theater , Palast am Zoo , Faun in der Friedrichstadt and Wintergarten . Lectures such as Ms. Kuhlicke's admonitions ... , Then it will be spring in Berlin or A Berlin weekly market draw unmistakable local color. His lecture piece Deutsche Heimat , a tour through the German dialect landscape, which he immortalized on gramophone record, made him extremely popular .
