Karl-Maria Artel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl-Maria Artel , at the beginning also led by Karl Artl , (born October 14, 1898 in Jägerndorf , Austria-Hungary ; † February 12, 1969 in Munich ) was a German stage actor and director with a few excursions to film and television.

Live and act

Born in the Austrian part of Silesia , the son of a book printer owner received his artistic training in Prague at the end of the First World War and began his stage career at the age of 20, which initially took him to small venues in his homeland, which has now become Czechoslovakian, for the first two decades. Artel appeared on stages in Gablonz, Troppau, Leitmeritz, Reichenberg, Brüx, Eger (where he was also allowed to direct in the 1931/32 season), Karlsbad and, most recently, Aussig (where he can be proven again as a director at the end of the 1930s). In the spa town of Marienbad he was occasionally seen on the summer stage there. Meanwhile, Artel made a detour to Berlin in 1940 for his first small film role in a Nazi propaganda production. During the Second World War, the artist worked mainly at the Deutsches Theater of the German-occupied Lorraine capital Metz. Here he was able to direct again. In 1945 he was briefly captured by the Allies.

The post-war period began for Karl-Maria Artel at the Dresden State Theater, where he only stayed briefly. He then went to the West and played on a tiny private stage, the Westdeutsche Kammerspiele in Arnsberg, Westphalia (1947/48). In 1948 he joined the Württemberg State Theater in Esslingen am Neckar for many years. Here Artel achieved a number of leading roles in the classic character subject. Above all, his carter Henschel in the captain drama of the same name earned him some recognition. But he also played roles as diverse as Hofrat Geiger and Hoederer in Jean-Paul Sartre's The Dirty Hands . Other important theater roles of Artel were Wallenstein, King Philip and Thoas. In the post-war years, Artel sporadically appeared in front of film and television cameras, but without leaving any deep traces there. The artist spent his twilight years in Munich.
