Friedrich Neubauer (director)

Friedrich Neubauer (born May 15, 1886 in Vienna , Austria-Hungary ; died 1956 ) was an Austrian director and actor.

Life

Friedrich Neubauer began his theater career in 1904 as an actor at the Theater St. Gallen , at the Volksbühne Vienna and then went to Berlin. In 1923 he directed an opera in Graz, in 1925 theater director at the Schauspielhaus Berlin and was senior theater director at the Cologne Theater in 1926/27 . In 1927 he was engaged as a director in Darmstadt , in 1931 at the German National Theater on Schiffbauerdamm and as a guest in Breslau .

After the handover of power to the National Socialists in 1933, he became a member of the Austrian NSDAP in 1934 , although the party was banned in the corporate state . In 1935 he was dramaturge at the Agnes Straub Theater in Berlin. Neubauer wrote the script for Hanns Johst's play Schlageter (Rebels on the Ruhr) . Neubauer was married to Amelie Neumann, who, as it now turned out for the German racists, was of Jewish origin. Neubauer was therefore expelled from the Reich Theater Chamber in August 1936 and from the Reich Film Chamber in December 1937 , which amounted to a professional ban. For further activities he now required a special permit.

After the end of the war, Neubauer was a director and actor at the New Theater in the Scala Vienna , which he co-founded and which was under the influence of the KPÖ and whose collective management included Günther Haenel , Wolfgang Heinz , Karl Paryla and Emil Stöhr .
