Ernst Shrink

Ernst August Max Schrumpf (born October 30, 1863 in Weimar ; † in the 20th century ) was a German theater and film actor .

Live and act

Schrumpf went through the teacher training college in his hometown Weimar, but left it very soon and in 1882 embarked on a stage career. Starting in Weimar, the following cities were further stages of the mime: Dessau, Stuttgart, Königsberg, Zurich, Mainz, Hamburg, Berlin, Prague and finally Munich for twelve years, where he directed the Munich Volkstheater from 1903 . In these decades, Schrumpf played almost the entire range of roles: From Striese (from the Schwank “The Robbery of the Sabine Women”) to Macbeth to King Philip II.

With increasing age, Schrumpf turned away from the stage and devoted himself entirely to film from the beginning of the 1920s. There he took on all kinds of small roles: sometimes Schrumpf was seen as a poet, as an editor-in-chief and finally even as the Patriarch of Jerusalem. None of these films had any special meaning. After 1924 Ernst Schrumpf hardly appeared as a film actor and had to be content with a few, sometimes tiny, tasks in the sound film.
