Heinrich Fischbach

Heinrich Fischbach ( May 31, 1847 in Wiesbaden - after 1912) was a German theater actor .

Life

Fischbach grew up on the stage because his father was an actor at the Wiesbaden Court Theater at the time. He was employed in children's roles from a very early age. In 1866 he appeared for the first time as a committed member in Mitau (Kurland), came to Aachen in 1867, to the Wallnertheater in Berlin in 1868, Stettin in 1869, Lübeck in 1870, Kiel in 1871, from 1872 to 1881 Louisenstädtsches and Germaniatheater in Berlin, 1882 Strasbourg, from 1883 to 1884 Magdeburg, 1885 Lübeck, 1886 Residenztheater Dresden, 1887 to 1891 Hoftheater Weimar, 1892 Adolf Ernsttheater Berlin, 1893 to 1896 Hoftheater Kassel, from 1896 to 1898 Bremen, from where he directed an application to the Thaliatheater in Hamburg.

He played his first comic character roles and humorous fathers and you can tell from his achievements that you were dealing with an artist who knew how to characterize excellently, who had a lot of humor and who performed excellently in a couplet lecture. From the first to the last scene, his playing was measured, finely thought-out and pointed according to the individual situations.

Among his most striking achievements are: "Weigel", "Argan", "Piepenbrink", "Falstaff", "Vansen", "Klosterbruder", "Kapuziner", "Lubowsky", "Valentin" ( spendthrift ), "Heinecke", “Pechschulze”, “Hasemann” etc. Fischbach was also active as a playwright.
