Lotte Steinhoff

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lotte "Lo" Steinhoff (born June 12, 1904 in Berlin-Charlottenburg , † after 1961, married Lotte Steinhoff-Arnheim ) was a German film actress.

Live and act

Lotte Steinhoff began her stage career at the age of 16 in Osnabrück and, due to her considerable height, initially played so-called trouser roles such as Walter Tell in "Wilhelm Tell". After two years in Osnabrück and a subsequent short stay in another city, Steinhoff returned to Berlin. There she found employment at Heinz Saltenburg's theaters, the Meinhard-Bernauer theaters and the Komödienhaus. Incidentally, Steinhoff was brought in front of the camera for the first time in the spring of 1924 for the role of Marietje in the film "Die Fahrt ins Verderben", which was shot in the Netherlands.

At the beginning of the sound film era, Steinhoff was only offered small roles. In her last production her husband Valy Arnheim was her film partner . Lotte Steinhoff-Arnheim and Valy Arnheim last lived in Berlin-Halensee , where the 46-year-old widow stayed - at least until 1961 - even after the death of her husband.

It has not been established whether Lotte Arnheim is identical to the author of the youth books of the same name ( Lusch becomes a personality from 1932).
