biography

Karl Dannemann: The Hindenburg banquet on October 21, 1926 in the old town hall in Bremen, painted in 1927

Dannemann was the son of the innkeeper Johann Albert Dannemann (1850–1897) from Neubruchhausen and his wife Clara Marie Caroline Dannemann, nee. Beermann (1860–1918) from Hemelingen . Both had been married since May 11, 1882. As the youngest of a total of seven children (Albert Heinrich, Johann Hermann Albert, Conrad, Anna Magdalene Elisabeth, Bernhardine Friederike and Albert Dietrich), Karl Dannemann never met his father. He got his first paint box at the age of seven. But probably at the insistence of his mother, he first completed an apprenticeship with a master painter and then received training as a set painter at the Bremen Theater and attended the Bremen School of Applied Arts in the evening - a forerunner of the Bremen University of the Arts . While still a student he was drafted as a soldier in 1916 and did not return from Russia until the spring of 1918. On February 14, 1920 he married Erna Margarete Noeren, born on October 17, 1892 in Bremen.

In 1920 he went to Berlin , where he became a master student of Max Slevogt . In the 1920s he realized some of his most striking works in Bremen. He created the frescoes in the Bacchuskeller of the Bremer Ratskeller , the painting Hindenburg Banquet in the Bremen Town Hall , as well as various stage sets , portraits , seascapes, still lifes , city and landscape images .

In the 1930s and 1940s, Dannemann was active as an actor in film, where he participated in a total of over 50 productions, in entertainment films as well as in National Socialist propaganda films . In 1941 he wrote the script for the film Irgendwo in wide Land (based on The Bear by Anton Chekhov ). It was also the first time he directed this film. The film was never shown in its time. He had been released from the war effort as indispensable and was on the God-favored list .

Dannemann passed away voluntarily in 1945 at the age of 49 in order to avoid capture by Soviet troops. His wife Erna Dannemann died childless on March 2, 1975 in Potsdam-Babelsberg in a retirement home on the Allee to Glienicke.

Karl Dannemann was a member of the German Association of Artists .
