Life

The trained actor Schaub shifted his artistic focus to directing early on. From the beginning of the 1950s he was the senior director of the drama department at the Gerhart Hauptmann Theater in Görlitz, where he produced productions of Gerhart Hauptmann's White Savior , Friedrich Schiller's Wallenstein , Calderón's Richter von Zalamea and Marcel Pagnol's Golden Anchor , among others . In the fall of 1955 he moved to the Erfurt Municipal Theaters as acting director . There, in 1956, Schaub staged Bert Brecht's Caucasian Chalk Circle in close consultation with the author himself, who, among other things, refused to allow Schaub to delete the Ludowika scene. Schaub performed the Caucasian chalk circle repeatedly, for example as a guest in 1971 at the Elbe-Elster-Theater in Wittenberg. In 1958 he staged Brecht again in Erfurt: the GDR premiere of Schweyk during World War II . Walter Amtrup played the main role here .

As an actor in film and television, however, Schaub was a rare guest. Here you could see him as a caliph in the Hebbel adaptation Der Rubin , next to Fred Mahr and Gisela Büttner in The Son of Cotopaxi and next to Klaus Bergatt in Rebell in Jägerrock .

As a voice actor lent Schaub among other Vladímir Hlavaty in the series The woman behind the counter and Alec Guinness in forgiveness, you are the murderer? , the DEFA version of A corpse for dessert his voice.
