life and work

Jaro von Tucholka created the photo cycle Death , in which Valeska Gert stood in front of the camera. In 1933 the Nierendorf Gallery showed its exhibition of heads, hand and writing of creative personalities . A book with photographs by Tucholka on the subject of “hands” had already appeared in 1929.

In 1931 Jaro von Tucholka entered into a "comradeship marriage" with the educator and politician Friedrich Weigelt . After the Weigelts, who had contacts with the Rote Kapelle , were banned from practicing their profession in 1933 or 1934 , Jaro von Tucholka founded a translation agency. Friedrich Weigelt worked there as an employee and also earned some money as a film extra during these years. Among other things , he doubled for Harry Piel . He also wrote state-loyal contributions for provincial newspapers and for Berlin radio . Another turning point in Tucholka's life took place around 1943. According to Bernd-Ulrich Hergemöller, the couple decided to go into hiding at the time, whereas after Karl-Heinz Steinle a bomb damage had destroyed the couple's apartment at Fasanenstrasse 67 and made the residents homeless.

While Friedrich Weigelt was staying with Richard Schultz in Berlin , Jaro von Tucholka left for Vienna . After the end of the war, Jaro von Tucholka and Friedrich Weigelt appeared again together in public and initially lived in Berlin again. After Weigelt retired in 1962, they moved to Munich . Friedrich Weigelt survived his wife. His estate is in the possession of the Heimatmuseum Berlin-Neukölln .
