Kurt August Karl Middendorf (born September 18, 1886 in Barmen ; † in the 20th century ) was a German actor .
Live and act
Middendorf had received training as a bookseller and another as an actor and singer . He made his artistic debut in 1905 in his native Barmen. In 1906 he moved to Hamburg , 1907 to Schleswig , 1908 to Neisse before he came to Zurich in October 1910 to take up an engagement at the local theater . Middendorf stayed there for two and a half years (until March 1913) before returning to Germany. This was followed by engagements in Dortmund (1913/14), interrupted by military service 1914-18, and at Berlin's Friedrich-Wilhelmstädtisches Theater in 1918/19.
Middendorf's role subject initially included that of adolescent lovers, heroes and bon vivants, later he grew into the character subject. Middendorf has concentrated on working in front of the camera since 1919, and in silent films he was given leading roles, especially in the first post-war years. In the sound film his roles (e.g. as Victor Hugo in Géza von Bolváry's farewell waltz ) dwindled to batch format.
