Hermann Vallentin (born May 24, 1872 in Berlin , † September 18, 1945 in Tel Aviv ) was a German actor and singer.
Life
The son of the timber merchant and factory owner Felix Vallentin was the brother of the actress Rosa Valetti . After training as an actor at the Royal Theater in Berlin with Max Grube and Hans Oberländer, he received his first engagement at the Central Theater in Berlin in the 1895/96 season . This was followed by appearances on various Berlin stages over the next few years.
From 1914, Vallentin was also a busy film actor. He mostly embodied fathers of families, patriarchs and directors, but also petty philistines. In the 1931 film version of Der Hauptmann von Köpenick , he played the uniform tailor Adolph Wormser.
When the National Socialists came to power, his film career ended abruptly. In 1933 Vallentin, who is considered a Jew, emigrated to Czechoslovakia, where he appeared on German theaters in Aussig and Prague . In 1938 he went to Switzerland and worked at the Stadttheater Basel and the Schauspielhaus Zurich . In 1939 he emigrated to Palestine. Since he could not speak Hebrew, he had to stop acting altogether. He gave lectures, poetry readings and was temporarily the spokesman for German-language news in the Palestine Broadcasting Service (PBS).
