Ida honor

Ida Ehre (born July 9, 1900 in Prerau , Moravia , † February 16, 1989 in Hamburg ) was an Austrian - German actress , director and theater director .

Life

Grave in the Ohlsdorf cemetery

Ida Ehre - daughter of a senior cantor - was trained as an actress at the Academy for Music and Performing Arts in Vienna . After her debut at the Bielitz City Theater, her career took her to several Central European theaters, including Budapest , Chernivtsi , Cottbus , Bonn , Königsberg , Stuttgart and the Mannheim National Theater . From 1930 she played at the Lessing Theater in Berlin .

During the time of National Socialism , Ida Ehre was banned from practicing as a Jew and therefore worked as a doctor's assistant in the practice of her husband, the gynecologist Bernhard Heyde (1899–1978), in Böblingen . An emigration to Chile planned after the November pogroms in 1938 failed in 1939 because the ship on which the couple was with their daughter Ruth (born October 20, 1927 in Mannheim ) was ordered back to Hamburg because of the beginning of the Second World War . Ida Ehre was later arrested by the Gestapo and was imprisoned in the Fuhlsbüttel concentration camp . In an interview, she later reported that the reason for the arrest was that she happened to be present during a film shoot and was asked by a cameraman to come in front of the camera and have her filmed. Since she was afraid to reveal her Jewish origin, she complied with this request, but was then reported by another woman because she had not identified herself as Jewish. In Fuhlsbüttel she tried to cheer up the other women in prison as much as possible and to give them courage, which she succeeded in doing despite several transports to extermination camps that were put together during her imprisonment. Finally she was released again; according to her presumption because her husband wrote a letter to Heinrich Himmler and in it described memories of his school days - Bernhard Heyde had attended the same high school as Himmler, albeit in a different grade, where his father Gebhard Himmler had also been deputy principal.

After the end of the war, Ida Ehre opened the Hamburger Kammerspiele in Hartungstrasse in the Rotherbaum district in 1945 - in a theater building that had been used by the Jewish Cultural Association until it was forced to “ Aryanize ” in 1941 . Under her leadership, the Kammerspiele developed into a leading German theater. In addition to young German drama (including Wolfgang Borchert's Outside Front Door ), Ehre presented many modern plays for the first time in Germany in the Kammerspiele, including pieces by Jean Anouilh , TS Eliot , Jean Giraudoux , Jean-Paul Sartre and Thornton Wilder .

From the mid-1950s onwards, Ida Ehre worked increasingly in various film and television productions . Among them was the 1947 episode film In those days by Helmut Käutner with Gert Karl Schaefer , Erich Schellow and Willy Maertens . In 1962 Ida Ehre played the character of Ella Ward in the Edgar Wallace film Die toten Augen von London , directed by Alfred Vohrer with Joachim Fuchsberger , Karin Baal and Dieter Borsche in the leading roles. 1972 Ida played in honor of the West German Radio produced (WDR) multi-part film adaptation of the detective novel The red scarf of Wilkie Collins , the woman Oldershaw .

From 1945 Ida Ehre also worked as a speaker in many radio plays . In the radio play adaptation (production of Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk ) of the play Our Little City by Thornton Wilder, directed by Helmut Käutner with Dagmar Altrichter , Fritz Wagner and Harry Meyen , she played the role of Mrs. Webb .

She also worked as a voice actress. For example, Ida Ehre was shown in the Frank Capra film Isn't life beautiful? as the German voice of Beulah Bondi as Ma Bailey .

Location Gustaf Gründgens' tombs / Ida honor

Ida Ehre was buried in Hamburg at the Ohlsdorf cemetery (on the extreme southeastern edge of the Althamburg Memorial Cemetery ) in an honorary grave , No. 06 (6), next to Gustaf Gründgens .

In the same year she received the medal for art and science of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg . In 1971 Ida Ehre was honored with the Schiller Prize of the city of Mannheim . In 1975 she was awarded the title of professor by the Hamburg Senate. In 1983 she was presented with the great Federal Cross of Merit, which also recognized her political commitment to peace and freedom. In 1985 she became the first woman to become an honorary citizen of the Hanseatic City of Hamburg. In 1984 she received the Silver Leaf of the Dramatists Union .
