Hubertus Durek (born January 21, 1917 in Poznan ; † 2006 ) was a German actor , director and theater manager .
Life
After graduating from high school, Durek began studying medicine. After taking private acting lessons, he shifted his professional focus to the stage and began as an apprentice at the Schillertheater in Berlin . After various stage engagements and activities as an insurance agent and dealer, he founded the West German Zimmer Theater in 1949 , from which the Theater am Dom in Cologne emerged in 1952 . This stage remained his artistic home for 33 years, initially without a permanent venue with productions of modern dramatists such as Peter Handke and Jean Cocteau , from 1964 on with a permanent home as a boulevard theater. Theater greats such as Grethe Weiser , Will Quadflieg , Harald Juhnke , Jürgen Flimm and Peter Zadek worked there under Durek's direction . From 1973 the former private theater was converted into a non-profit GmbH with a boulevard theater and grandstand.
Since then, management has been with Durek's wife Inge and Barbara Heinersdorff (1935 - December 24, 2016). Hubertus Durek kept the artistic direction until he reached the age limit in 1981.
He then worked as a freelance theater actor. Engagements have taken him to Munich, Stuttgart, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Hanover, Cologne and Düsseldorf as well as to various Berlin theaters such as Schlossparktheater and Theater am Kurfürstendamm .
Durek was also occasionally seen as an actor in film and television. He played alongside Udo Samel in the fantasy film Vorwärts , alongside Karl Schönböck in Alte Liebe , in the Dieter Hallervorden comedy With Me You're Right, and in the drama Obsession with Heike Makatsch and Daniel Craig . In addition, he took on guest roles in television series and series such as The Last Witness , OP calls Dr. Bruckner and Berliner Weisse with shot as well as a speaker for dubbing and radio play productions .
