Ludwig Crelinger
Ludwig Crelinger ( October 5, 1836 in Potsdam - 1904 ) was a German theater actor , director , editor and writer .
Life
Crelinger, the son of a royal Prussian forest master, went to the stage in 1859 after completing his law degree, without ever having had any dramatic training, out of enthusiasm for art.
He made his debut in Bevensen as "Lumpaci". In 1860 he came to Dessau (inaugural role: "Kosinsky"), then to Würzburg (inaugural role: "Anton von Gognics"), 1862 to Regensburg (inaugural role: "Butler"), 1863 to Görlitz (inaugural role "Sturm"), 1864 to Königsberg (Inaugural role "Schätzlein"), 1865 to the Reichenberg and Karlsbad theaters, 1866 to Augsburg (inaugural role "Perin"), 1867 to Brno (inaugural role "Franz Moor"), then to Magdeburg (inaugural role "Nathan"), followed in 1868 New York, where he began an engagement with "Michonnet", joined the Association of the Theater in Mainz in 1869 (inaugural role "Mephisto"), became a member of the Bremen Theater in 1870 (inaugural role "Vatel"), went from there to Düsseldorf in 1871 ( Inaugural role "Chalisac") and in 1872 to Strasbourg (inaugural role "Sturm").
A year later he gave up his artistic career completely and in 1874 he took over the editorial office of the Deutsche Bühnengenossenschaft , because he had lost an eye with a bayonet stab in the street in Magdeburg due to the clumsiness of a soldier in Magdeburg and thereby lost the pleasure in comedy . At the same time he founded a theater agency, which was initially intended as a cooperative agency, but which was managed for the owner's own account. Crelinger was also active as a stage writer. It is also worth mentioning that in 1868 he won a prize for the opera text The Taming of the Shrew from the well-known Berlin publishing house Bote & Bock .
