Life

"Juliane Caroline Louise Lutze
née Herrmann", Althamburg Memorial Cemetery

Julie Herrmann was the eldest daughter of Bernhard Anton Herrmann (1800–1876). As a writer, her father directed the Hamburg City Theater , where Julie Herrmann first appeared on the stage in 1840. Since the opening of the Thalia Theater in 1843, she appeared there as the first actress. At the first performance on November 9th of the same year, she was on stage with Karl Meixner . Both spoke the humorous prologue "Old and New" by Anton Eduard Wollheim da Fonseca . She was also seen in the vaudeville posse “Köck und Guste”, for which she received a lot of praise. Herrmann often played the first lover or soubrette and in these roles became the audience's favorite.

In 1849 she married the merchant H. A. Lutze. Since theatrical appearances by married women in the roles she played were not common at that time, she no longer appeared. Herrmann, however, wrote smaller literary works and plays. Her dramatic celebratory poem A Seventy-six was performed on March 22, 1873 on the occasion of Wilhelm I's birthday in the Hamburg City Theater.

In the Althamburg Memorial Cemetery of the Ohlsdorf Cemetery , Julie Herrmann is commemorated on the collective grave slab “Thalia Theater”, and her father Bernhard Anton Herrmann on the left half of the double collective grave slab “City Theater”.
