from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Josef Dietze , also Joseph Dietze , (born before 1900; died after March 1940) was a German cameraman .

Life

Dietzes work can be documented with films between 1919 and 1940. During the silent film era, he worked for the Treumann-Larsen-Gesellschaft, where he was on camera in a series of productions with the silent film star Wanda Treumann (WT), who was also a producer. He was the photographer of the adventure series The Woman with the 10 Masks (four episodes, 1921/22), several crime and social dramas, and two episodes of the Harry Hill detective series (1924).

In 1920 he photographed four crime films by Wolfgang Neff , for which Jane Beß wrote the manuscript, for Orplid-Film GmbH in Berlin. He shot two films, Der Mann ohne Beruf 1922 and Lieb Heimatland 1925, for the "Erich Claudius Film Workshop" in Naumburg an der Saale.

In 1931/32 he worked in Finland , where he shot two sound films for the Finnish company Sarastus ("Dawn"). In 1936 he was one of the cameramen who recorded the Olympic Games for Leni Riefenstahl . His last documented film was a Nazi propaganda film commissioned by the Wehrmacht High Command about the Norwegian campaign in 1940. Since no post-war work can be identified, Josef Dietze may have died during the Second World War .
