Gustav Rathje
Gustav Rathje (born May 11, 1895 in Staßfurt ; † November 27, 1947 in special camp No. 1 Mühlberg ) was a German film production manager .
Life
Rathje had trained as a bookseller before he was drafted in 1914. After his discharge from military service, Rathje went to film in 1919 and was hired as a production manager, but also occasionally worked as a production assistant. In these subordinate functions, Rathje was involved in a number of high-quality film productions, including the 1930/31 masterpieces Die Dreigroschenoper , M and Kameradschaft .
In 1936 Rathje acted for the first time as production manager, then again briefly until the end of 1938 as production manager ( Der Maulkorb , 1937; Salonwagen E 417 , 1938), from the beginning of 1939 partly as deputy ( Robert Koch, the fighter of death ), partly as sole production manager ( Marguerite : 3 ). Rathje was most recently assigned to the Karl Ritters manufacturing group as production manager at UFA .
At the end of the war he fell into the hands of the Red Army and was finally taken to special camp No. 1 Mühlberg near Riesa , where Rathje, meanwhile emaciated and ill, died in autumn 1947.

Individual evidence
- ↑ Life data and biography according to the film archive Kay Less . In the death register of the Soviet special camp Mühlberg, however, there is no Gustav Rathje [Initiativgruppe Lager Mühlberg e. V. (ed.). Book of the Dead - Special Camp No. 1 of the Soviet NKVD, Mühlberg / Elbe, 2008 ISBN 9783000269998 ]. There is only one Gustav Rathe * 1895 +10. February 1948 . That could be Rathje, but it doesn't have to be.
