Live and act

Born as the son of a station master of the Deutsche Reichsbahn in Pauschwitz near Trebsen , Hegewald grew up in Steudten near Rochlitz and from there was sent to the Adolf Hitler School in Pirna . He experienced the end of the war in the Harz foreland, where he had to help with the burning of files. When he returned home, Hans-Joachim Hegewald worked in a Rochlitz sand pit and was finally employed by the Rochlitz District Office as a messenger with a company bike, and later a moped.

The autodidact Hegewald had his first engagement in 1948 at the Stadttheater Burgstädt, where he worked as a choir director, drama eleve, stage manager and prop master with renovation work. In the choir he sang together with Peter Borgelt , whose father, Paul Borgelt, was senior director in Burgstädt at the time. In the newly built WISMUT- Kulturhaus in Chemnitz-Siegmar , Hegewald appeared on stage as Truffaldino in the opening production of Carlo Goldoni's comedy The Servant of Two Masters . In Chemnitz in 1950, after 36 hours of private lessons and three attempts, he finally received the state entrance qualification for the stage.

In order to drive out the Saxon idiom in the north, he went to Anklam , played Mephisto in Urfaust and after three years at Volkstheater Stralsund, where he was also staging, he ended up in Weimar in 1955, where Karl Kayser took a liking to the hero player. Three years later he took him to Leipzig. From 1958 he worked for many years at the Leipziger Schauspielhaus . During his stage career, Hegewald played more than 150 first roles in a wide variety of subjects, and was seen in classic dramas such as contemporary pieces, as well as operas and operettas. His spectrum ranged from Shakespeare's Timon of Athens , Goethe's Faust , Schiller's Wilhelm Tell , Brecht's Puntila , Moliere 's Geizigem to Bassa Selim in the Abduction from the Seraglio or the Frog in the Bat . In addition, Hegewald himself staged (including The Investigation , Tartuffe , Little Red Riding Hood , Huckleberry Finn and Siberia ) and also gave numerous guest performances abroad. His work took him to Czechoslovakia, Italy, Finland and Switzerland. The mime scurried inimitably, tapping beers and serving the audience, through 268 (!) Performances in the Leipzig new scene canteen as the innkeeper Franz Kretzschmar in Joachim Nowotny's monologue A rare case of love .

In addition, between 1968 and 1990 Hegewald was seen in more than twenty productions at the Moritzburg TV theater . He had leading roles, for example, in Otto Gotsche's evening visit (1968), Alexander Kents (di Douglas Reeman ) Die Überwindung (1969), Helmut Grosz ' Schöner Urlaub (1972) and Our most beautiful vacation (1987), Frigyes Karinthy's Der Zaubersessel (1975), Johann Friedrich Freiherr von Cronegk's The Mistrustful (1976), Rudi Czerwenka's Full House (1982) and Visiting Time (1984) and Joachim Nowotny's A Rare Case of Love (1990).

As an old-age pensioner, he played guest roles in Bremerhaven, in St. Gallen Dürrenmatt's Meteor , at the Stuttgart State Theater and as Emanuel Striese at the Heppenheim Festival . But Hegewald was not only a successful performer on stage, screen and screen - he also had a popular voice in radio plays and dubbing. For 25 years he worked as an audio book speaker for the German Central Library for the Blind in Leipzig . The Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired honored him with the Medal of Merit. In 1995 the artist retired into retirement, and has since made occasional guest appearances. For example, he embodied the village judge Adam ( Der zerbrochne Krug ) or Emanuel Striese ( The Robbery of the Sabine Women ) at the summer festival in Heppenheim.

His partner was the actress Sylva Schüler (* 1926), his daughter Valeska Hegewald (* 1958) and her son Moritz Hegewald (* 1981) also work as actors.
