Life

Hannsgeorg, also Hans Georg, Laubenthal had received acting lessons in his hometown of Cologne after attending secondary school (Abitur). His early theater posts included Frankfurt am Main (artist theater 1930–1932), Plauen (city theater, 1932/33), Darmstadt (Hessisches Landestheater 1933/34), Hamburg ( German theater 1934–1936), Berlin ( state theater 1936–1944, German theater 1947–1950 and Schlosspark and Schiller Theater 1951/52). In 1952 he returned to Frankfurt to appear on the municipal theaters there. Guest performances also took him to the Ruhr Festival in Recklinghausen .

Laubenthal initially played mainly in classical pieces: in Friedrich Schiller's Don Karlos (at the Hamburger Schauspielhaus), in Friedrich Hebbel's Maria Magdalene (at the Berlin State Theater), in Maria Stuart (as Mortimer, at the same theater), in Iphigenie on Tauris , in William Shakespeare's two kinds of measure (as Lucio, in Frankfurt) and in Georg Büchner's Dantons Tod (as St. Just under Boleslav Barlog ).

He was only seen sporadically in the film and mostly took on supporting roles. At DEFA , however, he got two bigger roles: as the good-looking dance floor king Hannes in the fairy tale film The Cold Heart (1950) and as a corps student Mahlmann in Wolfgang Staudte's literary film adaptation The Subject .
