Life

Brühne began as a pianist in silent film orchestras and played in Bernard Etté's orchestra . He arranged for Franz Doelle before he first worked for the film in 1933: He wrote the music for the short film Die Goldgrube, made by Phil Jutzi . Soon, Brühne rose to be a busy composer. After the war he was able to continue his career almost uninterrupted, which ended abruptly in 1958 with his untimely death.

The compositions for the melodrama Romance in Moll, staged by Helmut Käutner , are among his most artistically significant works .

Lothar Brühne was married to Vera Brühne for a while, whose case caused a sensation in West Germany in the early 1960s.

His grave is in the forest cemetery in Grünwald near Munich.
