Lotte foreman
Lotte Werkmeister (born December 26, 1885 in Rixdorf near Berlin ; † July 15, 1970 in Bergholz-Rehbrücke , today Nuthetal ) was a German chansonnière, cabaret artist and film actress .
Life
She gained her first stage experience as a choir student in Magdeburg . Before she experienced great success in the operetta Der Soldat der Marie by Leo Ascher from 1916 with over 2000 performances, she sang couplets and operetta melodies by Franz von Suppè , Johann Strauss and Franz Lehár . Lotte Werkmeister had minor appearances in silent films from 1917. She played in revues of the 1920s and appeared "with a typical Berlin snout" in cabarets, including until 1933 in the comedians' cabaret . She also made the acquaintance of Heinrich Zille , from whose milieu numerous couplets came. She only had her first record recording at the age of 41 with the two songs “A white one with a shot?” (By Willi Kollo ) and “When in Werder the cherries bloom” (by Fred Raymond ).
In 1938 Lotte Werkmeister moved to Bergholz-Rehbrücke and lived there until her death. In the 1930s she was an actress in several films, including Das Veilchen vom Potsdamer Platz (1936) and We make music (1942). After the Second World War , at the age of 60, she began a continuation of her cabaret career in the Berliner Kammerbrettl, founded by Hans Joachim Heinrichs in 1945 at the Ostkreuz S-Bahn station. Lotte Werkmeister is an honorary citizen of the Bergholz-Rehbrücke community and is also buried there.
