Joana Maria Gorvin (aka Maria Gerda Glückselig, born September 30, 1922 in Sibiu (Hermannstadt), Romania; † September 2, 1993 in Klosterneuburg ) was a theater actress and the wife of Jürgen Fehling .

Life

Joana Maria Gorvin was the daughter of the conductor and music teacher Karl Max Glückselig. Her brother was the later conductor and general music director in Hanover Carl Gorvin († 1991). After graduating from high school, she went to Berlin in 1938 and completed the drama school of the Berlin State Theater with Gustaf Gründgens . During her training, she took the stage name Gorvin, as Gründgens feared that with her real surname Glückselig she could be exposed to anti-Semitic hostility. In 1940 she took the first name Joana and had her first engagement in Potsdam . On a recommendation from Jürgen Fehling, she joined the Gründgens Ensemble at the Berlin State Theater on Gendarmenmarkt in 1943, from where her acclaimed theater career began.

She also took on speaking roles on the radio. One of the most famous radio novels was written in 1951 under the direction of Kurt Wilhelm on Bayerischer Rundfunk . In I often think of Piroschka (1954) she shone in the title role as Piroschka. In 1963 she spoke, also for the BR, the leading role of Marguerite Gautier in The Lady of the Camellias . Her partners were among others Klausjürgen Wussow , Eberhard Müller-Elmau and Horst Tappert . The direction was directed by Heinz-Günter Stamm .

In 1955, Gorvin obtained Austrian citizenship at her request and lived in Klosterneuburg . After the death of her first husband Jürgen Fehling in 1968, she managed his archive. In 1971 she was married to Maximilian B. Bauer for the second time. Since 1978 she has appeared several times at the Salzburg Festival as Faith in Everyone . Her last role was in Botho Strauss ' piece Schlußchor in 1992/93 .

Joanna Maria Gorvin died shortly before her 71st birthday in Klosterneuburg of a cerebral haemorrhage and was buried in Berlin as she wished. Her grave is in the Dahlem forest cemetery . The black granite grave slab bears the Latin inscription Quod mortale fuit hic situm est ( What was mortal lies here ).

Gorvin's husband donated the Joana Maria Gorvin Prize in 1995 . Since then, it has been awarded every five years by the Akademie der Künste (Berlin) and is endowed with 25,000 euros.
