Hans Fiebrandt
Hans Fiebrandt (born August 16, 1905 in Berlin ; † February 10, 2001 in Berlin-Wilmersdorf ) was a German actor.
Life
Hans Fiebrandt was born as the tenth and last child of a foreman in Berlin and grew up in his parents' house on Holzmarktstrasse near Jannowitzbrücke in Berlin-Mitte . Only five children survived childhood: Erich, Richard, Herbert, who wrote children's books under the pseudonym Herbert Paatz until the 1940s, Lotte and Hans.
Hans Fiebrandt started out as a chemist, then switched to an apprenticeship as a locksmith. But he felt the urge to make music early on and, in addition to his training as a locksmith, completed the drama school of the German Theater in Berlin under the well-known director Max Reinhardt .
He then played on various Berlin stages and went on tour. In 1935 he played for the first time in front of the camera in the German film Stradivari . In the 1950s and 1960s he was seen in numerous DEFA films and TV broadcasts, including in The Blue Swords and in the fairy tale film The Lighter as a Grouchy King, or as a doctor in the GDR crime series Polizeiruf 110 ( Die Schrottwaage , 1971). In the 1950s, Hans Fiebrandt, who had no children himself, took care of his nephew Dieter. He is the son of his brother Herbert, who died in 1945 in World War II . Contact with Dieter, who fled to West Berlin in 1959, did not break off later. However, Hans Fiebrandt had to deal with the Stasi , who wanted to shed light on the background of his nephew's escape from the GDR .
In 1972 Fiebrandt ended his career and moved to West Berlin with his wife Selma. He was married to her for over 70 years. She died in the 1990s; Hans Fiebrandt spent the last years of his life in Berlin-Wilmersdorf .
He is buried in the Wilmersdorf cemetery in Berlin.
