Hans Kettler (born November 5, 1900 , † after 1960) was a German stage and film actor .

Live and act

Kettler began his stage career in the 1920s and played in Magdeburg, Rostock and Berlin (comedy, theater on Kurfürstendamm), among others. After the Second World War he resumed his stage work in Hamburg and was engaged as an actor and director at the local stages of intimate theater and comedy. At the beginning of the 1950s he worked briefly in Frankfurt am Main for the Hessischer Rundfunk. Later firm theater engagements cannot be determined.

From 1932 until the early stages of World War II, Kettler often appeared in front of the camera and took on a number of batch roles, for example a boat crew member in Heinrich Georges Das Meer calls , a chief pilot in “Alles um ein Frau”, a ship officer in One Too Many Bord , a detective inspector in “Brillanten”, a helmsman in “Comrades at Sea” and a sergeant major in Scouting Troop Hallgarten . At the Karl May Games in the Felsenbühne Rathen (Saxon Switzerland) from May 27 to August 30, 1939, Kettler played the fictional character Old Shatterhand . In 1940 he took over the direction of the Karl May Games in Werder (Havel) , which were scheduled from June to August and were extended until September.

After the war, Hans Kettler only returned to the camera once. His last sign of life came in 1960 from Hamburg-Altona.
