Ludwig Bettelheim-Gabillon
Ludwig Bettelheim-Gabillon , also Ludwig Bettelheim (born November 25, 1882 in Vienna , Austria-Hungary , † February 28, 1943 in Ghetto Theresienstadt , Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia ), was an Austrian stage actor and ministerial advisor .
Live and act
The son of the Catholic writer Helene Bettelheim , née Gabillon, and the Jewish literary scholar Anton Bettelheim received acting lessons from the Viennese Hofburg actor Ferdinand Gregori in the early years of the 20th century and started playing in the fall of 1905. He was quickly given leading roles in classical plays : Bettelheim-Gabillon played Ferdinand in Kabale und Liebe , Orest, Hamlet , Pastor Heffterdingk in Sudermanns Heimat , Marquis Posa in Schiller's Don Karlos and Wetter vom Strahl in Kleist's Das Käthchen von Heilbronn . Cologne and Düsseldorf were among his few stage stations.
Obviously Ludwig Bettelheim-Gabillon left the stage world very early, because even in the last stage yearbooks before the First World War he was no longer recorded in the registers. Instead, he embarked on a career as a civil servant, most recently the former artist held the position of ministerial advisor. Living in Vienna, Ludwig Bettelheim-Gabillon has been increasingly isolated since the annexation of Austria due to his Jewish father who died in 1930. Although he was officially Roman Catholic, German authorities deported him on October 9, 1942 as a prominent prisoner to the retirement camp in Theresienstadt. There he died on February 28, 1943, allegedly of "cardiac muscle degeneration", as it is called in the official death certificate, presumably more from the consequences of general exhaustion and catastrophic basic care. Bettelheim's sister Friederike is also said to have perished in Theresienstadt.
