Karl Georg Külb
Karl Georg Külb (born January 28, 1901 in Mainz , † July 20, 1980 in Munich ) was a German film director and screenwriter.
Life
Külb began to study law and philosophy after the First World War and was a member of the Corps Hassia . After receiving his doctorate, he worked as a novelist and playwright. His works include The Night with Casanova , The Eternal Adventurer and Sensation in Budapest . In 1927 he married Irmgard von Opel , daughter of the Hessian entrepreneur Heinrich von Opel (1873–1928). The couple had a daughter together. The marriage lasted only a year. In 1937 Külb became a screenwriter at UFA and made his debut as a co-author of the propaganda film My Son, the Minister . As a rule, however, he wrote scripts for typical entertainment films , and the actors included stars such as Zarah Leander and Marika Rökk . In 1939 he made his directorial debut. Külb's first script after the end of the war for the film Lang ist der Weg (1948) about the fate of a Jewish family during the German occupation of Poland in World War II falls outside the scope of his other oeuvre. In the 1950s, Külb provided the material for several apolitical film comedies of the Adenauer era typical of the time and occasionally directed.
