Hedwig Gutzeit

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hedwig Marianna Gutzeit (born Wegener ; born January 6, 1871 in Arnoldsdorf , West Prussia ; † March 22, 1945 ) was a German silent film actress and author .

Life

Hedwig, called Hete Gutzeit, moved to Gut Bischdorf in East Prussia with her parents and siblings Martha and her younger brother, who later became actor and director Paul Wegener , at the beginning of 1875 . However, her mother died about two years later, whereupon her father remarried and subsequently sold the estate. Hete married the professor of agriculture Ernst Gutzeit and lived with him first in Königsberg and then in Halle / Saale . Most recently she lived in Berlin .

During the first quarter of the 20th century she wrote smaller fairy tale games and took part in several silent films, which her brother Paul made with Rochus Gliese , and which were mostly fairytale-fantastic in character. In Rübezahl's wedding she played the witch, in the Lost Shadow the wife of the mayor, played by Leonhard Haskel .

Her role of the eponymous maid Malchen (Amalie) in the 'hygienic and humorous' educational film “Malchen, the innocence of the country” was of a more down-to-earth nature. She took on smaller and therefore mostly unmarked roles in the adventure films “The Yoghi” and “The Galley Convict”.

She died as a result of an air raid during World War II . Allegedly, she was found in the rubble of her home by her brother Paul Wegener.
