Albrecht, who had lived in Hamburg since he was 6, began his artistic career as a buffo at the Richter Theaters there (Volksoper and Operettenhaus) and soon found his artistic calling in the character comedian.

While Albrecht was used in most of the operetta premieres in these houses - for his Emperor Franz Joseph in Ralph Benatzky's Im Weisse Rößl and as Der fidele Bauer after Leo Fall , he received a lot of recognition - Josef Albrecht has also been seen in one since he was 60 Series of cinema and later also television films, in which the native Viennese often embodied “Hamburg veterans”.
