Live and act

After graduating from high school at Schulpforta, the merchant's son studied at Leipzig University and in Munich from 1933 to 1936 and, almost at the same time, from 1934 to 1936, received lessons from Detlef Sierck and Lina Carstens at the drama school of the Old Theater in Leipzig . Here he was for a time (1935/36) Sierck's assistant director. Klaus Hellmold made his debut as an actor in 1936 in a performance of August Strindberg's Easter . Subsequently, from 1939 to 1941, Hellmold was brought to the Zwickau City Theater as a director and in the field of youthful heroes. He was seen there as Dr. Fleischer in a production of Gerhart Hauptmann's Der Biberpelz and as Ferdinand in Friedrich Schiller's Kabale und Liebe . From 1941 to 1945 Klaus Hellmold was drafted into the Wehrmacht and subsequently imprisoned.

In 1946 he returned to the theater as a director and actor when he was brought to Hannoversch Münden . Hellmold stayed there for two years and filled out the First Hero's compartment. In 1948 he went to the Schloßtheater Wolfenbüttel for a season, where he was again allowed to direct. At the time the Federal Republic of Germany was founded, Hellmold remained active at the Celle Castle Theater and the Braunschweig State Theater . In 1951 he went to Ingolstadt and again filled out the first hero class. From 1952 to 1954 he went to the Stadttheater Trier before he was brought to the Deutsches Theater Göttingen as a guest play manager . In 1956, Klaus Hellmold accepted an obligation as administrative director of the Baden-Baden city theater . Here he also worked for the Südwestfunk Baden-Baden. It was in those years that Klaus Hellmold began to appear in front of the camera. Especially in the late 1950s and early 1960s, he was seen with small roles in a number of movies. In later years the actor-director, whose main occupation from the 1960s to the late 1980s was that of an actor and chief scheduler of the Darmstadt State Theater, was hardly active anymore. He had one of his late parade roles there in 1984 in the Henze opera The Young Lord . In November 1987 he was seen at the same venue in August Strindberg's Rausch .
