from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinz Percy Stieda (* 20th May 1881 in Germany ; † 20th May 1948 in Hamburg ) was a German actor of stage and silent film as well as a theater director.

Live and act

Stieda has been on stage since around the turn of the century and initially played in provincial venues such as Lodz in the first decade of the 20th century under the name Percy Stieda. From 1911 to 1914 he worked at the Schauspielhaus Zurich and then went to Berlin, where he also filmed intensively between 1918 and 1924. He embodied his most famous film roles in 1919 with the Abbé in Ernst Lubitsch's Rausch and in 1920 with Horatio in Asta Nielsen's Hamlet film adaptation. In those years he was also seen on stages in the capital, such as the Komödienhaus.

In 1924, Heinz Stieda left the capital again and moved to Hamburg, his most important place of work from then on. Apart from the years 1933 to 1935, when he was senior director at the Hessisches Landestheater in Darmstadt, Stieda remained loyal to the Hanseatic city for the rest of his life. From 1924 to 1933 he was engaged both as an actor and as a director at the Thalia Theater there . After his return from Darmstadt to Hamburg in 1935, Heinz Stieda worked until the end of his life as an actor and director at the Schauspielhaus, of which he was most recently a member of the board.
