After a stopover in Nuremberg ( Intimes Theater ) and Vienna , Seger came to Munich at the end of May 1907 to fulfill an obligation at the United Theater . Later, from 1912 to 1925, he appeared at the Munich Schauspielhaus , interrupted only by military service at the front (1916-18) . From 1925 to 1936 he worked at the Kammerspiele in the theater . During these almost three decades in the Bavarian capital, Seger had such renowned colleagues as Gustav Waldau , Leo Peukert , Hermine Körner , Alexander Granach , Adolf Wohlbrück , Maria Bard , Ewald Balser , Hans Schweikart , Elisabeth Flickenschildt , Ruth Hellberg , OE Hasse and the young mimes Kurt Meisel as a stage partner.
