Life

Waag played her first roles in 1929 in the German silent films Das brennende Herz and Die Ehe . She reached the high point of her career in the sound film of the 1930s in productions such as Der Mörder Dimitri Karamasoff (1931), Walzerkrieg (in the role of the young Queen Victoria ; 1933, director: Ludwig Berger ) and Der Hund von Baskerville (1936), which was already her last film. Again and again it disappeared from the public for some time and came back surprisingly. She herself spoke about it in an interview from October 1934, “Yes, I am the woman who is discovered again and again - but I think now I've made it! Perhaps it's because I'm not a guy, that I don't let myself be determined, that that's why I'm never recognized ”.

From 1937 onwards, their track was initially lost. It was only known that she went to Luxembourg, where she lived under the name Jeane Bamberger-Beck. Her husband was the set designer and film architect Rudolf Bamberger . Research on the Université du Luxembourg revealed that Ms. Waag returned to her native city of Gießen in 1954. In a letter dated April 13, 2011, the city office there announced that Hanna Waag had the family name Bamberger, nee. Beck and had the first name Johanna Elisabeth Justine.
