Heinrich Vogeler (actor)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Theodor Heinrich Vogeler (born on August 25, 1869 in Leipzig ; died on February 21, 1937 in Magdeburg ) was a German theater actor and most recently director of the United Opera and Drama Theaters in Magdeburg.

Life

Vogeler, son of the businessman Theodor Vogeler and his wife Adele Vogeler, née Heufeld, first attended a secondary school. As a result he devoted himself to the stage career. In 1891 he made his debut in what is now Bad Lausick in Saxony as a member of a traveling theater. In the same year he received his first engagement in Marburg. This was followed by positions in Rostock (1891/92), Augsburg (1892/93), Lübeck (1893/94), Liegnitz / Schlesien (1894/95), Königsberg (1895–1897), Halle (1897/98; inaugural role: “ Mephisto ”) and most recently Hamburg. In 1899 he performed the Duke of Alba in Goethe's Egmont at the local theater .

Then Vogeler found long-term employment at the theaters in Hamburg (1899–1908) and in Magdeburg, where he was senior director of the theater from 1908–1911. After an interlude from 1911 to 1914 as director and director at the Stadttheater Halberstadt, Vogeler was to remain at the latter site until 1930 in the same functions. In 1913 he became director of the Magdeburg City Theater and in 1920 artistic director of the United Opera and Drama Theaters. In 1930 he resigned from the stage at his own request. At least in the 1910s, Vogeler lived in Magdeburg at Westendstrasse 16, today's Klausenerstrasse, in the Sudenburg district .

Last but not least, Heinrich Vogeler took on the stage in serious character roles. Including, in addition to those already mentioned, as Shylock in William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice or as King in Shakespeare's Hamlet .

His son was the dramaturge and actor Theodor Vogeler (born in Hamburg on July 23, 1900; died in Berlin on December 22, 1975).

“His character pictures were all carried out consistently, from the first to the last scene. The clear, reliable handling of his task was pleasantly noticeable in his performance, and it was one of Vogeler's most valued qualities that he never lapsed into showmanship. "
