Life
Jacobi, the son of a railroad master, attended the Weimar teachers' grammar school to prepare for this profession. Even then people became aware of his good declamation, so that as a pupil he was repeatedly chosen on the Emperor's and Grand Duke's birthday to recite the corresponding celebratory poems at the school celebration and in the evening conversations of the seminar - fragments of classics were presented - always the main ones Roles entrusted. As a result, the inclination for the theater became stronger and stronger in him, the instinct became more and more powerful, until he finally left the seminar voluntarily to swap the chair for the stage. His teacher was the well-known director Jocza Savits , and in 1883 he was hired for the Weimar court theater. He stayed there until 1887, during which time he was allowed to do his volunteer year. Then he came to Breslau, in 1888 to the Berlin theater, where he stayed until 1893 (during the entire time as director of Ludwig Barnay ), after which he followed a call to the court theater in Kassel. He worked there until 1904.
His life after that is unknown.
