Karl Graumann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl Graumann , also Carl Graumann (born November 11, 1874 in Göttingen , † April 20, 1948 in Munich ) was a German theater actor , film actor and acting teacher.

Live and act

Graumann had already played theater at the age of 20 and at the beginning of the 20th century, at the end of the imperial era, he appeared on stages in Bremen (city theater) and Munich (court theater). Graumann remained loyal to the court theater, now the state theater, even after the First World War.

At this point in time (early 1920s), the Göttingen native stepped in front of the camera for the first time and worked in (mostly insignificant) films by Munich production companies. In two of them, Karl Grune's 1928 historical drama Marquis d'Eon, the spy of Pompadour and Waterloo , Graumann embodied high-ranking personalities: Prince Conti in the first film and Prince Metternich in the Napoleon downfall drama.

Graumann, who was appointed state actor, remained loyal to his adopted home in Munich until the end of his life and continued to play both theater there (most recently at the Staatsschauspiel in 1943) and in film, even if his roles there became smaller and smaller from time to time. Graumann had also worked as an acting teacher, and his students included Erwin Piscator , Theo Ennisch and Helmuth Renar .
