Hans Richter (actor, 1919)
Hans Richter (born January 12, 1919 in Nowawes , today Potsdam - Babelsberg , † October 5, 2008 in Heppenheim , Bergstrasse district ) was a German actor .
Life
Hans Richter was the son of a singer and a concertmaster. As early as the early 1930s, at the age of twelve, he played his first role away from school - the flying stag in Gerhard Lamprecht's Emil and the detectives (he was the only young leading actor in the film to survive the Second World War). This role initially established him as a performer of clever, somewhat cheeky louse boys and made him a German child star in the 1930s. Even before he came of age, he had appeared in over 50 films.
This was followed by roles in various films that were shot before and during World War II . He played a supporting role in The Man Who Was Sherlock Holmes with Heinz Rühmann . Together with Rühmann he also stood in front of the camera for Die Feuerzangenbowle as a student Rosen in 1944 .
After graduating from the Menzel Realschule in Nowawes in 1943, Richter studied art history and took acting lessons from Albert Florath , but was drafted into military service in 1944 and was taken prisoner.
After the war he designed cabaret evenings in Munich, but then settled in Hamburg, where he lived until 1960. In 1949 he was given a leading role as a clown in the blood of an artist , as well as an impostor in Knall und Fall (1952). Richter otherwise played cheerful and comical supporting roles in numerous comedies and homeland films such as Schwarzwaldmädel (1950), Grün ist die Heide (1951) or In Munich there is a Hofbräuhaus (1952). Twice, in Father's Day (1955) and Hurray - The Company Has a Child (1955) he directed it himself. He played again in the remake of the Feuerzangenbowle (1970) , this time as Dr. Board.
From the mid-1950s, Richter increasingly turned to the theater, where he played leading roles at the Deutsches Schauspielhaus from 1958 to 1960 . In 1960 he became a member of the ensemble of the Städtische Bühnen Frankfurt am Main .
In 1974, Hans Richter founded the Heppenheim Festival , which he managed from then on as his own theater company. He had been married to the publisher and author Ingeborg Bieber (1921–2009) since 1945 and had two sons, Hansjoachim (* 1946) and Thomas (1947–2017). The latter took over the management of the festival from him in 1992.
