Life

After graduating from high school, the son of an officer studied mechanical engineering and electrical engineering in the Silesian town of Liegnitz between 1922 and 1926. From 1927 to 1929 he was the managing director of a small film production company.

From 1931 onwards at the Münchner Kammerspiele under Otto Falckenberg he trained as an actor, dramaturge and director. In these functions he then worked at the Hessisches Landestheater Darmstadt . In 1936 Bartsch moved to Berlin in order to gain a foothold in film. After producing the foreign versions for the groundbreaking Olympic films , Bartsch directed several sports films for Leni Riefenstahl's Olympia-Film GmbH , in which he also acted as a screenwriter and film editor . In 1941 he was drafted into the Air Force . A screenplay with the title The Red Devils written with Harald Reinl and Leni Riefenstahl towards the end of the Second World War was not made into a film.

After his return from captivity, Bartsch moved to Munich in 1950. Here he worked again as a film editor and as an author of dubbed versions of international films. From the mid-1950s onwards, Bartsch regularly wrote screenplays for films by his companion Harald Reinl, for whose films he occasionally revised scripts by other authors. In addition to his main focus, the adaptation of trivial literature for the screen, Bartsch also wrote the templates for some war films . His best-known works include his collaboration on the scripts for some Edgar Wallace films , the James Fenimore Cooper adaptation The Last of the Mohicans and the Karl May film adaptation of Winnetou 3rd part . His last work was the scripts for the films Der eheimliche Mönch (1965) and In the Nest of the Yellow Viper - The FBI Strikes (1966), which Bartsch never saw the world premiere.
