Life
On the advice of the director of the court theater O. W. Hanke, Geisendörfer, the son of a factory owner, took part in a Gustav Adolf performance presented by amateurs, and from now on his decision was made to devote himself entirely to the stage. He took lessons from Wilhelm Wassermann , but also attended the Karlsruhe University (literature).
He was then engaged at the court theater there (1896), where he made his debut as a “young cleric” in Wildenbruch's King Heinrich . In 1897 he came to the city theater in Lübeck as the first teenage hero (inaugural role "Melchthal"), in 1898 he was hired for the German theater after making his debut as "Teja" and "Fritzchen" with good luck (inaugural role "Laertes"). Then in 1899, in order to perfect himself, he went to the princely theater in Gera (inaugural role "Leon" in Weh 'dem, who lies ) and there had the opportunity to try himself out as a youthful hero as well as a youthful character player, first bon vivant and shy lover .
From 1900 to 1901 he worked at the Secession stage in Berlin (inaugural role "Lind" in Comedy of Love ) and then joined the Association of German People's Theater in Vienna (inaugural role "Mortimer").
The artist, whose leading roles up to then included "Carlos", "Leon", "Rustan", "Prince von Homburg", "Max Piccolomini", "Hamlet", "Narr" in Lear , "Bugslaff" in Hans Lange etc. belonged, had quickly got used to the conversation piece cultivated at the Volkstheater with skill and talent. In bigger and smaller roles he showed himself to be an intelligent, talented actor who was able to be seen successfully alongside the tried and tested forces of this institute. He proved that in The New Simson , as the "young Rosenhagen", "Kingsearl" in Miss Hobbs , "Rodrigo" in Florio and Flavio etc.
