from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Luise Willig (born February 25, 1873 in Offenbach am Main , † July 1917 ) was a German theater actress .

Life

Luise Willig was trained by Marie Ernst . According to Ludwig Eisenberg, she began her stage career in Hanau in 1889 , moved to Elberfeld in 1891 and came to Wiesbaden in 1895 , where she was engaged at the court theater. From there she moved to the Königliche Schauspielhaus in Berlin in 1904 or 1905 , where she became a competitor to Rosa Poppes . She gave guest appearances in London and St. Petersburg, among others . "She succeeds best in wild demonic figures and sharply pronounced characters of elementary passion or nervous-sensitive sensitivity," can be read in Meyer's Large Conversation Lexicon from 1909; Important pieces in which Willig appeared are named, among others, Die Rabensteinerin by Ernst von Wildenbruch and Rose Bernd . She stayed at the Royal Theater until 1914.

A brief love affair with the young Rudolf Herzog was reflected in his work Nur eine Actress . In 1899 she married the singer Paul Haubrich , an uncle of the later art collector Josef Haubrich .

In an obituary for the actress, who died in July 1917, one could read: "She was not a great tragic talent, but made an impact through the sympathetic simplicity of her appearance."
