In the next two decades she traveled all over the German provinces, including to Lüneburg and Bromberg , before arriving in Berlin in 1912 to take on an engagement at the Schiller Theater . After almost seven years on this stage, the artist worked briefly at the Deutsches Theater (1918/19), 1921–1923 at the Volkstheater and until 1926 at the theater in Steglitz and the Central Theater . The freelancer could then be seen at the Schlossparktheater , the theater in Klosterstrasse , the Volksbühne , the Renaissance theater and, most recently, the Kammerspiele of the German Theater .
She celebrated success in later years, especially with small roles of caring, old ladies - also in the film, in which she appeared regularly between 1933 and until the time of her death in early 1943. There she was seen again and again as a mother, wife and grandmother. Other roles in the film were mostly simple women from the people: Jeanette Bethge sometimes played a herbalist or a farmer, sometimes a maid or a cook.
