Live and act

Klietsch received acting lessons in the early 1920s and from the second half of the same decade was on stages in u. a. Dresden, Bremen and Chemnitz can be seen. In 1933 he came to Berlin and appeared at the Prussian Theater of Youth, directed by Herbert Maisch . Then you saw him until 1943 at such different capital city venues as the guest performance director club dance, the Renaissance theater and the theater under the linden trees. In the last Reich German season in 1943/44, Klietsch made a commitment to the Reussian Theater in Gera, where he was also allowed to stage plays. After 1945, the native of Berlin continued his theater career with the beginning of the Federal Republic in Wuppertal and then worked on stages in Baden-Baden, Bremen, Cologne, Wuppertal and finally in Munich. Klietsch also spent his twilight years in the Bavarian capital.

In his Berlin years from 1933 to 1943, Klietsch was also offered an abundance of small to medium-sized film roles. During these years he mostly embodied higher-ranking people such as directors, doctors or professors, less often simple people such as the foreman in A Whole Guy . In Luis Trenker's mercenary film Condottieri he could be seen as Cesare Borgia . After the Second World War, Erwin Klietsch continued his work in front of the camera exclusively in television productions. There, too, he was seen preferably in the roles of higher-ranking citizens (medical officer, director, English nobleman or judge). He gave his farewell performance in this medium in 1970 in the officially first Tatort crime thriller Taxi to Leipzig .
