At the theater

As a later teenager, Taeger received acting lessons from Julius Jaffé in Dresden before he made his stage debut at the Princely Theater in Pyrmont in the summer of 1886. After a short time in Detmold, Taeger followed an engagement at the Görlitzer Stadttheater for one season (1887/88), followed by another season at the Oldenburger Hoftheater. From 1890 to 1891 he appeared at the Deutsches Theater Berlin , after a detour to Zurich, Friedrich Taeger returned to his hometown Leipzig, where he was part of the ensemble of the city theater there for ten years. His longest engagement took him to Altona in 1901, at that time not yet part of Hamburg, where he worked at the local theater for a quarter of a century. Taeger concluded his artistic career between 1926 and 1932 at the Hamburg Thalia Theater . Then he retired.
