Lisca Malbran

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lisca Malbran (actually Marlis Carmen Hoffmann, born October 17, 1925 in Berlin , † June 6, 1946 in Copenhagen ) was a German actress .

Life

Lisca Malbran was the daughter of the actor , director and film producer Hellmut Werner Hoffmann and his wife Elisabeth Paula, geb. Tolkmitt. Since her father became known under the pseudonym Werner Malbran , which was inspired by a Huguenot ancestor , she adopted this family name. She worked as an actress in four films shot during the Second World War , whereby the last one ( Heidesommer ) could no longer be completed and performed. According to Kurt Wiemers' memories , Malbran was still in Berlin shortly before the end of the war. According to the information provided by the Danish nurse Edda Mørkeberg, she was in a Soviet internment camp in May 1945, where she was able to identify herself as a Danish citizen named Marlis Carmen Christensen with a passport. She was therefore able to travel to Denmark a few months later after her release. Lisca Malbran died on June 6, 1946 at the age of 20 in Copenhagen.

The American author William T. Vollmann recently remembered the actress, who died early and was soon forgotten, and made her appear as the idol of German soldiers in his novel Europe Central .
