Eugen Hrich
Fritz Eugen Hrich (born July 17, 1891 in Berlin ; † after 1944) was a German sound engineer and cameraman .
Live and act
Hrich had finished high school and joined the film industry in 1912. Since 1920 he has been the head cameraman, starting with the Ellen Richter adventure film Brigantenliebe , where Hrich was subordinate to his more experienced Danish colleague Frederik Fuglsang as a junior partner . Until the end of the silent film era, in the 1920s, Hrich photographed a number of entertainment productions that were not particularly significant in terms of film history, including several sports and cultural films on behalf of UFA, such as Paths to Strength and Beauty .
With the dawn of the sound film era, Hrich, who couldn't really get his way as a cameraman, switched to sound. As chief sound engineer, Hrich oversaw a wide range of entertainment films , including some sensational stories by and with Harry Piel , but from 1933 also brown Nazi propaganda such as Hans Westmar and Shock Troop in 1917 . Hrich remained active until shortly before the end of World War II ; Whether he survived the end of the war cannot currently be verified.
Hrich is said to have been the father of the cameraman Walter Hrich , from his marriage to Valerie “Vally” Valenzi from Vienna.
