Friedrichfranz Stampe

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrichfranz Stampe , also Friedrich Franz Stampe (born April 10, 1897 in Magdeburg , † April 22, 1959 in Cologne ), was a German actor , theater director , dramaturge and from 1939 to 1944 director of the State Theater of the General Government in Krakow .

Live and act

In the 1930s, Stampe starred in films such as Tannenberg (1932), Der Schuß im Tonfilmatelier (1930, directed by Alfred Zeisler ), Ferien vom Ich (1934, directed by Hans Deppe ), and in the Nazi propaganda film The Higher Command (1935, directed by Gerhard Lamprecht ) and To New Shores (1937, directed by Detlef Sierck ). As a theater actor he was at the Reussisches Theater Gera , as a director in the Stadttheater Halberstadt and as a senior director at the Theater Hagen , before he was appointed director of the Deutsches Theater Krakow in 1939 at the instigation of Hans Frank in the General Government (renamed the State Theater of the General Government since August 1940) until 1944.

Stampes' appointment as artistic director caused a surprise in the German theater scene, as he had not previously held a leading management position. The seat of the theater was Cracow. Its ensemble has also made guest appearances in other larger cities in German-occupied Poland, such as Warsaw , Lublin , Radom , Kielce , Czestochowa and Przemyśl . "In order to be up to this task, it was up to [...] Stampe to turn the Municipal Theater [Krakow] into a state theater with a wider range."

Hans Frank reached Adolf Hitler's decision to entrust Martin Bormann with the further processing of the desired - which he did not object to - appointment of the artistic director of the Cracow State Theater, Friedrichfranz Stampe, as general manager . After Frank's appointment with Stampes, Joseph Goebbels is said to have attempted to replace what he saw as an invalid award of the title with a subsequent award of the title, since the right to make proposals lay with the Reich Minister of Propaganda .

The productions of the theater in the Generalgouvernement under Friedrichfranz Stampe included Das Christ-Elflein in collaboration with the composer Hans Pfitzner (1943); the governor general Hans Frank was a personal friend and admirer of Pfitzner. Another production of Stampes was the staging of Hebbel's Agnes Bernauer . The contemporary criticism in the Nazi press noted the allegedly enthusiastic reception of a play in which the "grippingly shaped victory of the necessity of the state over the individual fate" was programmatic for the efforts of the National Socialists to take over the people.

Stampe acted rather unsuccessfully artistically in Krakow; he was booed by the audience at a New Year's production for which he was responsible in 1943. At the beginning of 1944, the Ministry of Propaganda determined that Stomp's work needed the support of an artistic director for the theater; But Stampe stayed in his post because, as a long-time NSDAP member, he had patrons in the party and state apparatus. He had been a party member since May 1933.

In the post-war period, with the resumption of theater operations, Stampe was head of the Westphalian State Theater in Paderborn, based in Castrop-Rauxel , and finally worked as a dramaturge at provincial theaters, for example at Theater Flensburg around 1950 , where he caused a sensation with a Rolf bongs production. He also worked again as a film actor and also as a radio play speaker .
