from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Fritz Wilhelm (born December 8, 1905 in Reetz , Arnswalde district, German Reich ; † 1980 or September 23, 1983, presumably in Germany ) was a German film director , dubbing director and voice actor .

Live and act

The son of the bailiff Friedrich Wilhelm and his wife Martha, née Richter, graduated from high school and then studied architecture at the Technical University of Berlin. Wilhelm joined film in 1928 when he started as a dramaturge and assistant director at the small production company Commerzfilm Berlin. He was then allowed to direct several cultural films, in the cheaply budgeted boy scout story Die Bande von Hoheneck with Wolfgang Staudte , who was still largely unknown at the time, in the lead role as scout leader, Hans F. Wilhelm made his debut as a feature film director in January 1934. Since there were no follow-up orders , until 1944 he concentrated entirely on the production of documentaries as part of the UFA -Wirtschaftsfilm.

In 1944 Hans F. Wilhelm was drafted and sent to the front. The Arnswald remained a prisoner of war until 1947, before he returned to film in 1949. For companies like Mars-Film, Ifu, Simoton etc. Wilhelm worked as a dialogue writer, voice actor and, above all, a voice director. In 1955 he returned to feature films with two directorial jobs (a fairy tale film and an episode film), but left hardly any traces. As a voice actor, Hans F. Wilhelm continuously took on small roles, both in television series and in feature films, preferably in spaghetti westerns in the 1960s and 1970s . There is currently uncertainty about the exact date of his death; Wilhelm apparently died in the early 1980s.
