from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Lackner (born May 11, 1876 in Pötzleinsdorf near Vienna , † March 16, 1930 in Wiener Neustadt ) was an Austrian theater and film actor .

Live and act

The son of an office manager at the Austro-Hungarian bank studied philosophy at the University of Vienna from 1894 to 1896 after graduating from high school . Then he decided to act and was trained artistically by Konrad Loewe . His first engagement took him to Troppau , where Lackner made his debut with the male lead as Fritz Lobheimer in Arthur Schnitzler 's drama Liebelei, which had recently premiered . After a brief interlude at the summer theater in Gmunden ( Salzkammergut ), Lackner returned to Vienna in 1898 to fulfill an obligation there at the Raimund Theater (debut role: Thorolf in Nordic Heerfahrt ). He celebrated success there in the field of the youthful character hero and nature boy. At the turn of the century he was seen, among other things, as Martin in Ludwig Anzengruber's The Fourth Commandment , as Carl in Maria Magdalena , as Mittelbach in Der Herr Senator , as Valentin in Goethe's Faust or as Jakob in Anzengruber's The Perjurer .

In 1904 Lackner moved to Munich , where he appeared at the United Theaters alongside well-known artists such as Gustav Waldau , Hans Steinhoff , Lina Woiwode , Leo Peukert and Rolf Randolf , before finally returning to Vienna. There he continued his career at the Burgtheater . Most recently (at the end of the 1920s), Hans Lackner worked again at the Deutsches Volkstheater , where he had appeared shortly before the First World War .

Hans Lackner appeared in front of the camera at an early stage: in 1912 Luise Kolm gave him the title role in the drama "The Unknown" . In 1920 he played another leading role in the horror story Fool and Death . In the same year Lackner came to Berlin for the central role of Cardinal Richelieu in the historical drama "Ninon de l'Enclos" . In 1923 he could be seen with the title role of the composer Carl Michael Ziehrer in the musician story "Carl Michael Ziehrers Märchen aus Alt-Wien" , an early work by Wilhelm Thiele . Immediately thereafter, Lackner received another leading role in "Nameless" , a production by the future Hollywood emigrant Mihály Kertész . He has hardly been employed since the mid-1920s.

Hans Lackner, who worked in Leni Riefenstahl's Tiefland film adaptation during World War II , is not identical to him.
