Life
Weber received practical training as a theater painter and set designer and attended several teaching facilities (art school, arts and crafts school, academy) in his hometown of Berlin. He then worked as a set designer at the Royal Theater in Berlin as well as at the City Theater of Brandenburg an der Havel and the Allenstein State Theater from the early 1920s .
In 1925 Weber switched to film. After a few auxiliary jobs (most recently in 1928 with the Volga-Volga ) he advanced to the position of chief architect shortly before the start of the talky-film era. He was by the end of 1928 colleagues Erich Zander for furnishing Lupu picks biopic about Bonaparte 's last years in exile, Napoleon at Saint Helena , used.
