Georg Hieb
Georg Hieb (around 1843 - November 6, 1924 in Groß-Rode ) was an opera singer ( bass ) and theater actor .
Life
After Hieb had worked in Magdeburg (1864), Halle (1865), Sondershausen (1866) and Weimar (1867), he joined the association of the Hofbühne Braunschweig in 1868 , where he made his debut as “Baculus” in Der Wildschütz . He stayed there until 1905.
He was used both as an actor and as a singer. He sang mainly parts of the bass buffo class. “Stadinger” in the armory , “van Bett” in Zar and Zimmermann , the cellar master “Hans” in Undine etc. were popular performances by this actor. Hieb's other operatic roles were the king in Aida , “Colonna” in Rienzi and “Falstaff” in The Merry Wives of Windsor .
Hieb stood up for the interests of members of the stage. He was a co-founder and longstanding chairman of the German Stage Members' Cooperative . He “made a great contribution to the economic improvement of the actor's rank” (Kosch).
His life after 1905 is largely unknown. He lived in Braunschweig on Steinweg , on Güldenstraße and finally until 1917 on Zimmerstraße . Hieb was a great admirer of the mathematician , astronomer , geodesist and physicist Carl Friedrich Gauß, who was born in Braunschweig in 1777 . After his retirement in 1911, he rented a room in Gauss' birthplace and set up a small exhibition there with memorabilia from Gauß. The Gauß Museum was created in 1929 from Hieb's collection .
Hieb died of a heart attack at the age of 81 in the forester's house in Groß-Rohde .
