Life
Wüstenhagen has worked as an actor and director in numerous film productions. He was a staunch National Socialist and was a member of Alfred Rosenberg's ethnically -minded anti-Semitic association for German culture and the NSDAP .
From 1932 to 1945 Wüstenhagen was director of the Deutsches Schauspielhaus Hamburg and was appointed to the Hamburg State Council. Nationalization fell into his era in 1934. Works by communist or Jewish authors were no longer performed in accordance with the National Socialist ban. During Wüstenhagen's management, he was also able to win Jürgen Fehling for three productions.
After the beginning of the Second World War , the selection of pieces was further restricted in that pieces from "enemy countries" were no longer allowed to be performed.
In January 1941 Wüstenhagen made a guest appearance with the ensemble of the Hamburger Schauspielhaus in occupied Norway. During the war the theater was damaged by bombs, but not destroyed. After the building was closed in September 1944, an armaments workshop was set up there. In 1945 the theater on Kirchenallee was confiscated by the British occupying forces as the Garrison Theater . Wüstenhagen finally lost his post as director and was initially replaced by Rudolf Külus on a provisional basis .
Wüstenhagen was married to the actress Emmy Percy-Wüstenhagen since 1936 . Wolfgang Stendar from Hamburg was one of his drama students .
