Hermann Nesselträger
Hermann Nesselträger (born December 15, 1870 in Hanau , † February 21, 1932 in Munich ) was a German theater and silent film actor .
Life
Nesselträger initially played theater, z. B. 1902/03 at the Kaiserl. subv. Stadt-Theater zu Bromberg in a performance by Franz von Schönthans and Frh. Simple comedy in three acts Im Bunten Rock (role: "Paul von Gollwitz", Assessor a. D., next to Ida Wüst ) and 1905/06 at the Grand Ducal Court Theater Karlsruhe in the performance of the same play, but as "Soldat Jaenicke". In the personal files of the Grand Ducal Court Theater he can be traced from 1905 to 1909.
Nesselträger came to film only after the World War; Films with him are documented from 1919 to 1929. Between 1920 and 1925 he took part in various roles in several Stuart Webbs detective films by Ernst Reicher . But perhaps his most interesting role in front of the camera, the sculptor Magnussen, he played in 1919 under the direction of Paul Otto in the first well-known film adaptation of Wedekind's Erdgeist material , the little changed title Erdgift at Vera-Filmwerke in Hamburg originated.
Most recently, Hermann Nesselträger remained largely unemployed. Nesselträger passed out of his own life in February 1932.
