Jutta Hoffmann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jutta Hoffmann, 1971

Jutta Hoffmann (born March 3, 1941 in Ammendorf near Halle an der Saale ) is a German actress. From the end of the 1960s she was one of the most famous actresses in the GDR and has been one of the most important actresses in German-speaking countries since the early 1980s.

Life

She was born in the house at Friedrichstrasse 8 in Ammendorf as the first child of Alice and Erich Hoffmann and grew up in this house together with her three years younger sister Sabine. During school she was a member of the amateur play group of the Buna-Werke in Schkopau. After graduating from high school in Merseburg, she studied at the film school in Potsdam-Babelsberg from 1959 to 1962 . As early as 1960 she received her first film role in the DEFA film Das Rabauken-Kabarett and made her debut as a theater actress in And That on Christmas Eve at Berlin's Maxim-Gorki-Theater , to which she belonged until 1973.

She played with Ruth Berghaus , Robert Wilson , Luc Bondy , Thomas Langhoff and Peter Zadek . Above all, however, Einar Schleef shaped them. In 1975, she was with him at the Berliner Ensemble Strindberg's Miss Julie in that scandal staging , with their aligned with the self-liberation of the individual gesture the indignation of the SED issued promptly caused -Kulturbürokraten and after ten sold-out performances are needed. A particular furore emanated from a wild dance from Berlin high school students to beat rhythms integrated into the performance and from Jutta Hoffmann's final exit over the backrests of the rows of seats in the stalls and the heads of the audience. "The craziest thing that ever happened in the Berliner Ensemble," wrote Theater heute . Hoffmann played Rosa Luxemburg in Schleef's spectacular staging of Betrayed People in 2000, and she appeared on stage at the Berliner Ensemble in Herr Puntila und seine Knecht Matti (1996).

At the beginning of the 1980s she left the GDR and was on the theater stage in the Federal Republic of Germany in the Deutsches Schauspielhaus in Hamburg . Above all, her work with Peter Zadek made her known to the West German theater audience. After Luc Bondy had cast her in Anton Chekhov's Platonov in 1978, she played Leonore d'Este in Dieter Dorn's production of Goethe's Torquato Tasso at the Salzburg Festival . After that, they played regularly at the Munich Chamber Theater , in the new process of Peter Weiss or Helma in The Park by Botho Strauss (both directed by Dieter Dorn). The director Thomas Langhoff engaged Hoffmann for his television film Hedda Gabler (1979/80). At the side of Jutta Wachowiak and Michael Gwisdek , she also starred in Langhoff's idiosyncratic TV adaptation of Goethe's Stella in 1982 - a play that she had played the year before at the Theater im Palast.

She celebrated her greatest successes with Peter Zadek at the theater and with Lorcas Yerma (for which she was named "Actress of the Year" by the magazine Theater heute ). She was the speech-impaired Countess Geschwitz in Zadek's legendary production of Wedekind's Lulu with Susanne Lothar , The Duchess of Malfi at the side of Gert Voss and the mother of Uwe Bohm in the musical Andi . At the Wiener Festwochen in 1995 she played Adolf Hitler and Hans Frank's wife in Joshua Sobol's Der Vater in a production by Paulus Manker and from 2012 to 2015 Alma Mahler-Werfel in Manker's production of Joshua Sobol's " Alma - A Show Biz to the End " in Vienna.

In feature films and television films, Jutta Hoffmann has repeatedly impressed with her ability to express herself. In the GDR she celebrated success on the screen in Egon Günther's film Lotte in Weimar alongside Lilli Palmer or in the Arnold Zweig filming Junge Frau from 1914, as well as being a lamb in the television filming of Hans Fallada's Little Man - what now? . With Egon Günther's film The Third (1972), which was awarded at the film festivals in Karlovy Vary and Venice (FIPRESCI Jury's Acting Award for Best Actress), she achieved international fame and won the FIPRESCI Award for Best Actress at the Biennale Accept presentation of Margit Flieser; the GDR honored its artist with the "National Prize". In the same year Hoffmann received the German Critics' Prize . She had another collaboration with Egon Günther in the film The Keys (1972), which was banned from performance because of the delicate subject matter. The exclusion from the party-loyal GDR art business is reflected in films such as Herrmann Zschoches Karla, which was banned in 1965, or later in Das Versteck mit Manfred Krug (1977).

From 1993 to 2006 she worked at the Hamburg University of Music and Theater as a professor of performing arts. During this time she taught among others Marie Bäumer , Bibiana Beglau and Marc Hosemann .

In 2005 Hoffmann was honored by the DEFA Foundation for her services to German film. On the occasion of her 70th birthday, the Filmmuseum Potsdam dedicated an exhibition to her. Jutta Hoffmann has had a star on the Boulevard der Stars in Berlin since April 12, 2011 .

Jutta Hoffmann was first married to the director Herrmann Zschoche and is now married to the Austrian actor and director Nikolaus Haenel . She has two children and lives in Potsdam.

The radio play was produced in January 1976 with a top-class cast - including Jutta Hoffmann, Kurt Böwe and Jürgen Hentsch - directed by Peter Groeger and with radio play music by Reiner Bredemeyer . But on the said Sunday evening, the evening speaker briefly warned the audience of a change in the program and was offered a repeat of Alexander Gelman's production piece “Minutes of a Meeting”. The original broadcast of the Aitmatov drama “The Ascent to Fudschijama” had been banned at short notice by an instruction from the SED Central Committee. When the chairman of the radio committee, Rudi Singer , referred to the fact that Aitmatov's text had appeared as a book in a selection of Soviet time pieces in 1975 by the GDR publisher Volk und Welt, the Central Committee replied that the release for a book still meant Far from saying that the work can be distributed in a mass medium. The tapes with the radio play staging disappeared in the safe of the then head of the radio drama department - Hans Bentzien . He and the staff involved in the production were reprimanded. In the midst of the Brezhnev Doctrine, Aitmatov's memories of the grave injustice of the Stalin era were not intended to reach a wide audience. It was not until after the fall of 1989 that the production had its actual radio premiere on the radio of the GDR on December 20, 1989. Before that, the play had its GDR premiere at the theater in January 1986 in the Schauspielhaus Leipzig with a ten-year delay. see Hans Bentzien: My Secretaries and I , Verlag Neues Leben, Berlin 1995, p. 262ff.
