Louis Jean Jacques Angely (born February 1, 1787 in Leipzig , † November 16, 1835 in Berlin ) was a German comedy poet, actor and director.

Life

Louis Angely was born as the son of the cantor of the French Reformed Church in Leipzig Jean Georges Louis Angely and Jeanne Marie in Leipzig. Angely made his acting debut in Szczecin in 1808 . After engagements in Riga, Reval and Mitau, during which he often appeared in comic roles, he came to the German Court Theater in St. Petersburg in 1826 . From 1828 he worked at the Berlin Königsstädter Theater , where he appeared both as an actor and as a director. In 1830 he retired from the stage and bought an inn on Spandauer Strasse in Berlin. But he continued to write plays.

He died on November 16, 1835 in Berlin and was buried in the cemetery of the French Reformed Congregation (Liesenstrasse) . His grave was leveled in the course of the expansion of the GDR border fortifications .

The comedy poet

Louis Angely mainly wrote antics and vaudevilles based on French models, which he adapted to the Berlin milieu; there are a hundred known titles, only partially published. His most successful piece was the Berliner Posse Das Fest der Handwerker , which had no French template and was entirely geared towards the Berlin milieu. He was the first actor in the wall foreman "Kluck" - a type that became popular in the theater in the following years. Sayings like “Dadrum no enmity nich!” Have passed into Berlin usage .
