Life

Grave of Hans Androschin

He joined film in 1909 at the age of 17 as a simple recording operator . He did his military service in the First World War , after which he went abroad as a cameraman. He returned to Vienna and became chief cameraman in 1920. He was busy many times, but hardly shot any significant works in terms of film history . The exceptions, however, include classics such as the early horror film Orlac's hands (1924), the pompous operetta film Der Rosenkavalier (1926), Café Elektric (1927) with the newly discovered Marlene Dietrich and Willi Forst, and the then scandalous film Ekstase (1933) with Hedy Lamarr .

In 1928 he moved to Poland , where he worked as Hans Andruszin in Warsaw and Bydgoszcz studios. With the dawn of the sound film era , he increasingly shot for documentaries. With the annexation of Austria to Germany in 1938 he became a sound engineer at the army service of the German armed forces . After the war he continued to work as a cameraman for short and long documentaries, such as Dreamy Lower Austria (1952).

He was buried in the Vienna Central Cemetery (Group 56A, Row 7, Number 4).
