Georg Vogelsang
Georg Vogelsang (born May 2, 1883 in Munich , † December 21, 1952 in Schliersee ) was a Bavarian folk actor who was able to celebrate his greatest successes with the depiction of Bavarian-Alpine types connected to the earth and home.
Life
Born in Munich, he had played theater since 1903 and mainly stood on peasant stages. He was a long-time member of the Schlierseer Bauerntheater and appeared with the ensemble in front of the camera in a number of dramas, comedies and folk plays in the early 1920s. These folk plays, often implemented in a woodcut-like manner, were produced by a specially founded company Schliersee-Volkskunst-Film , mostly under the direction of Franz Seitz senior .
It was not until 1938 that Georg Vogelsang began working regularly as a film actor. He stayed true to his genre, the Bavarian and Alpine folk plays. In the remaining 14 years of his life, he breathed life into numerous Bavarian types, initially mainly in home films by directors Paul May , Seitz and Joe Stöckel . Vogelsang played gnarled, weird, down-to-earth types of every stripe, such as the blacksmith in The poor millionaire , the mayor and innkeeper in Three Fathers around Anna , the foreman in The Eternal Spring and the Rosenbauer Nicodemus in Die Geierwally . But also in films such as the two Rühmann fun games about the Bruchpilot Quax and the Feuerzangenbowle , Georg Vogelsang usually provided the humorous, Bavarian note.
Despite his intensive film activity, Georg Vogelsang remained connected to the Schlierseer Theater until the end of his life.
