Life

Franz Kreidemann was born as the son of Gustav Kreidemann, who, in addition to his many years of activity as office manager of the Mainz City Theater, wrote the one-act travel acquaintances and the Christmas comedy Das Märchenreich und seine Wunder . Kreidemann junior worked for a short time as a businessman, then he was initially an extra at the Stadttheater Mainz before making his stage debut as an actor in Krefeld in 1890. This was followed by engagements in Basel, Braunschweig, Darmstadt, Hanover, Hildesheim, Mainz, Rostock and Vienna as well as at various Hamburg theaters, such as the Deutsches Schauspielhaus , the Thalia Theater , the Kammerspiele and the Altonaer Stadttheater , where he also directed.

During his time in Hamburg, Kreidemann also gave acting lessons . Among his students were Carl Voscherau , Maly Delschaft and the popular actress Trude Possehl . In addition, between 1946 and 1951 he acted as a radio play speaker in productions of the then NWDR and lent his colleague James Harcourt as voice actor in the 1949 film Der Wahnsinn des Dr. Clive his voice.

In addition, Franz Kreidemann was also active as a writer. In addition to three detective novels and two volumes of fantastic stories, he wrote several essays on the acting profession. With the exception of the story Der Fluch , which was reprinted in 2001, his works have been forgotten today.

Franz Kreidemann died at the age of 82 in Hamburg after a serious illness.
