Lola Kreutzberg
Lola Kreutzberg , born as Caroline Sophia Auguste Kreutzberg (born August 2, 1887 in Nürschan , Austria-Hungary , † March 25, 1966 in Positano , Italy ), was a German journalist , explorer and documentary film producer and director .
Live and act
Lola Kreutzberg worked as a journalist at a young age before joining the film industry in 1926. Since then she has undertaken numerous research trips that took her to several continents and about which she published several books, especially in the 1920s and 1930s. The native Bohemian made documentaries, travel and nature films about the country and its people, flora and fauna on site. These films, which she initially directed, were produced and released by her own production company, Berlin-based Lola Kreutzberg-Film GmbH.
Already their first own production, the story of an elephant driver and his family Nuri, the elephant , which was made in India, proved to be a great success with the public and was even re-released in cinemas in 1941 in a re-cut sound film version under the new title Krishna . Most of the other Kreutzberg productions, mostly short films, were made in India and Indonesia (especially on the island of Bali ). The National Socialists, who had ruled since 1933, disapproved of Kreutzberg's independence and prevented further expeditions by the Berliner by choice. Eventually Lola Kreutzberg opened her own cinema in Berlin, which was destroyed in a heavy bombing raid by the Allies in 1943. After 1945 Lola Kreutzberg continued to live in Berlin (Berlin W 30) and in Italy, where she also died.
