biography

After graduating from high school, the son of a master fisherman completed an education in film technology at the Afifa copier in Berlin. Subsequently, from 1939 to 1944, he was employed by the UFA as a camera assistant. After the war, Haase worked as a camera assistant in a number of films (e.g. Helmut Käutner's Des Teufels General with Curd Jürgens in 1954 ) and as a simple cameraman, including Walter Reisch's Der Cornet - Die Weise von Liebe und Tod in 1955 and Käutner's Der Hauptmann the following year von Köpenick with Heinz Rühmann .

At this time, Haase occasionally began to photograph films on his own, initially documentaries. His semi-documentary camera work on Frank Wisbar's war film Sharks and Little Fish , Will Tremper's lurid GDR escape drama Escape to Berlin and Jürgen Roland's critically acclaimed St. Pauli crime thriller Davidswache deserve mention . Haase had worked for Roland since 1958 when he photographed a considerable number of episodes of his television series Stahlnetz , a veritable street sweeper of those years. These films, which are sensational in terms of content and visually in a sober reportage style, prove Haase's origins from documentary films.
