Gisela Schlueter (born June 6, 1914 in Berlin ; † October 28, 1995 in Mittenwald ) was a German cabaret artist and actress .

Life

Gisela Schlüter grew up as the daughter of a professional officer in Dresden . She felt drawn to the stage at an early age. At first she really wanted to become a dancer and completed a corresponding training. At 1.76 m, however, she was too tall for such a stage career. Therefore, she took lessons from the Dresden actor Erich Ponto . She began her career as an actress at the age of 19. In her first year of employment she was already involved in four film productions. After further films, she found her field of activity mainly in cabaret , so that she only had a few film appearances in the years that followed.

After her training and first professional steps, she had her first stage appearance in Berlin with Günther Lüders as a partner in the tabloid play Caution Brigitte , in which she already expressed her talent as a quick speaker. A year later she played alongside Liesl Karlstadt and Karl Valentin in the famous Berlin cabaret of comedians . This was followed by revues , appearances and theater tours as well as radio events in the 1930s and 1940s . As a stage actress, Gisela Schlüter impressed with her versatility by dancing, singing, parodying and acting.

Together with Brigitte Mira , she played in a Nazi propaganda series entitled Liese and Miese . There was the "Liese", the "good guy" who did everything right in the sense of Nazi propaganda. On the other hand, the "lousy" did everything wrong, listened to enemy radio stations and hoarded food. Brigitte Mira as "Liese" had more sympathy with the audience than the "Liese" played by Gisela Schlueter, so that the Propaganda Ministry soon canceled the series as counterproductive.

She also worked as a film actress, among others in We Dance Around the World (1939), The Tiger of Esnapur (1937/38), One Night in May (1938), The Indian Tomb (1937/38), Six Days Home Leave (1941 ) and Our Auntie Is The Last (1973). In the post-war period, along with many theater tours, she was the star of the Hamburg cabaret revue Faust, part three .

Gisela Schlueter had her first small television appearance in Vico Torriani's show Grüezi Vico . After numerous guest appearances in well-known TV shows, she received her own TV show on January 25, 1963 at NDR in Hamburg, entitled Zwischenmahlzeit , in which she appeared as a comedian and entertainer .

In this show she was seen in skits , with dances and singing performances. During this time she became a show master who, through her dominant verbal rhetoric, barely let her stage partners have their say. Her speaking speed (up to 482 syllables per minute) and her seemingly never-ending torrent of speech became her trademarks. This resulted in her nicknames "Lady Schnatterly" and "Chatterbox of the Nation". She once said of herself: "The one who speaks to me has yet to be born."

By the year 1982, was Snack three broadcast four times a year, reaching ratings of up to 44%. For her show, Gisela Schlüter received the Golden Camera from the television magazine HÖRZU in 1976 . Many celebrities of the time were their guests once or several times, such as Heinz Erhardt , Otto Lüthje , Heidi Kabel , Henry Vahl , Maxl Graf , Ilja Richter and Claus Wilcke , but also politicians like Franz Josef Strauss .

Private

Gisela Schlüter's hobby was astrology . She created horoscopes and dealt extensively with the constellations , which led her to be very “careful” in her own life.

Her long-term partner, the television author Hans Hubberten , was closely connected to Schlüter's professional career . He wrote all 35 episodes of the snack for her. The professional proximity brought them together, and they spent 28 years together until Hubberten's death in 1988. Both lived in a house in Bad Kohlgrub, Bavaria, for many years . After Hubberten's death, Schlüter largely withdrew from the public eye.

In 1993 Gisela Schlueter broke her spine, later several ribs and a thigh. She never fully recovered from her injuries and became bedridden. On October 28, 1995, she died of a stroke at the age of 81 and was buried in Bad Kohlgrub.
