Hilde Wörner (born Hildegard Margarete Dorothea Elfriede Wörner on November 17, 1894 in Kassel  , † April 5, 1963 in Munich ) was a German theater and film actress and film producer who appeared primarily in silent films .

Life

Hilde Wörner began her stage career at the age of 16 in Elberfeld . In 1912 Johannes Maurach brought her to the Essen City Theater. Commitments to Oldenburg and Bremen followed , where she could be seen at the Schauspielhaus . In the late phase of the First World War she reached Berlin , where she was taken over by Lisa Weise in the operetta ensemble of the Berlin theater . There she was the first soubrette . Almost at the same time, she engaged Heinrich Bolten-Baeckers , the then director of the Oliver Filmgesellschaft, for the film. In doing so, she immediately had series star status - "this is the highest thing a cinema diva strives for," said Wörner in 1919.

Wörner made her film debut in 1917 in the silent film Baronin Kammerjungfer , directed by Leo Peukert . She specialized in the role of the teenage saloon lady and played in the dramatic and comedic subject. Contemporaries, she was considered a mediocre actress.

Around 1919 she co-founded the film production company Wörner-Film in Berlin, which produced various feature films until 1923, including the six-part Die Berliner Range (1919–1921) and Dimitri Buchowetzki's Danton (1921). At that time she was married to the silent film director Carl Müller-Hagen , who directed a large part of her films from 1919 and 1920.

Next to Pola Negri, Wörner played the second leading female role in Ernst Lubitsch's Die Flamme in 1922 , before she largely withdrew from the film business. In 1926 she played a supporting role in Carl Froelich's Roses from the South and in 1930 took on minor supporting roles in her only two sound films, Hanns Schwarz ' Burglar and Gustav Ucicky's The Flute Concerto from Sans-souci .

Wörner was married to the tenor Eduard Lichtenstein (1889-1953) for the second time .
