Live and act
Eugen Wolbe came from a Berlin Jewish family. From 1904 he was a senior teacher at the 5th Realschule (later Fichte Realschule) in Berlin-Moabit .

Brutzkus (1882–1942) was later deported to Riga and murdered there; his son Shlomo Wolbe (1914-2005) worked as a rabbi in Stockholm and later in Israel.
