Hans-Joachim Buettner
Hans-Joachim Richard Werner Büttner , at the theater also Joachim Büttner , after 1945 also led by Hansjoachim Büttner (born November 2, 1900 in Coburg ; † July 29, 1973 in Potsdam ), was a German stage and film actor .
Live and act
The son of the chamber singer Max Büttner had studied philosophy and art history at the universities of Bonn and Heidelberg and also took acting lessons from Ferdinand Gregori . He made his debut in 1920 at the Mecklenburg State Theater in Schwerin. Other theater stations followed in Bonn, Vienna, Darmstadt and Bremen before he reached Berlin in 1931 and appeared there in the following years at the Prussian state theaters. Even before the war broke out in 1939, he was also active as an actor and director in Danzig and as an actor at the Comedy Berlin. During the Second World War, Büttner had to be content with obligations at so-called guest game directorates. After the war he continued his stage career as an actor and director at the Städtisches Theater in Leipzig and decided to work for GDR institutions (film and television), although he lived in Berlin-Zehlendorf until 1961.
With his arrival in the capital of the Reich, Büttner was brought in front of the camera. Over the next four decades, he played characters of all kinds, from small to leading roles: sometimes a bank teller, sometimes a doctor (in the Nazi propaganda film Hitlerjunge Quex ) , sometimes a murderer (in Karl Hartl's classic science fiction film Gold ), sometimes one Rittmeister, sometimes an engineer and sometimes a speaker (at the side of Zarah Leander in To New Shores ). At DEFA , for which Büttner had worked since 1951, he continued the politically opportunist line that he had begun in 1933 and made his debut in a now communist propaganda film, The Condemned Village , where he played a minister. In the 1956 version of Der Richter von Zalamea , Büttner finally took on the lead role of Pedro Crespo. Until recently, Hans-Joachim Büttner, in the last phase of his life also with television, remained connected to GDR productions, which often occupied him as a dignitary, academic and high-ranking personality.
