Life

Julius Klee grew up in his hometown, where his father worked as a court gardener and castellan at the fortress Heldburg . He met Otto Graf during his apprenticeship at Deutsche Hypothekenbank Meiningen . In 1919 Klee founded an amateur theater group in Hildburghausen, and in 1920 he joined the Oberschlesischen Volksspiele. In 1924 he was engaged in Weimar, where he met Otto Graf again, from whom he took speaking lessons. Further stations in his stage career were initially Mannheim and Recklinghausen, and Klee also played on left-wing cabaret stages.

During the time of National Socialism , Klee mainly worked for the radio, only after the end of the war did he continue his stage work. In 1945 he came to Stendal, then he made guest appearances in Bernburg (Saale) and Staßfurt. Ultimately, Klee received an engagement at what was then the Städtische Bühnen in Karl-Marx-Stadt, to which he was a member from 1955 to 1983 and where he was later made an honorary member. His most important role there was the title character in Gotthold Ephraim Lessing's play Nathan the Wise . In addition, Julius Klee headed the Dramatic Circle of the district authority of the German People's Police for 20 years, which later won a prize in the GDR folk art competition as an amateur theater in 1963.

From the 1950s onwards, Klee occasionally worked in front of the camera, for example in the DEFA feature films The Story of Little Muck and Beacon , directed by Wolfgang Staudte . Klee died in what was then Karl-Marx-Stadt; his artistic estate is administered by the Chemnitz City Archives.
