Julius Grevenberg

Life
Grevenberg, son of opera singers Wilhelmine and Peter Grevenberg , first studied mathematics at the Karlsruhe Polytechnic after graduating from high school . However, since his desire to become an actor was greater, he later went to Munich and Berlin.
He made his debut at the Stralsund Theater in 1881 , was then in Königsberg in 1893, in Breslau in 1894, in Göttingen in 1895, in Hamburg in 1896, in Barmen and Budapest in 1896, then at several theaters in the Austrian provinces, before he worked as "Bollingbroke" and at the Breslau City Theater "Hut Owner" made his debut. In 1897 he went to Graz (inaugural role: "Heinrich" in Sunken Glocke ). In 1900 he was at the State Theater in Prague (inaugural role: "Johannes Vokerath" in Lonely People and "Essex").
Grevenberg represented the subject of the first heroes and conversation lovers, was successful in the classical as well as in the modern play, and his “Fiesco” received the same approval as his “Oswald” in the Ghosts . His game was agile, he knew how to characterize confidently and accurately, and he was able to cope with even the most difficult tasks.
From 1901 to 1902 he was in Leipzig, from 1903 to 1908 in Berlin. From 1911 to 1921 he directed the city theaters in Graz. In doing so, he made great contributions to theater life in Graz.
