Magdalena Maria "Magda" Schneider (born May 17, 1909 in Augsburg , † July 30, 1996 in Schönau am Koenigssee ) was a German actress and the mother of actress Romy Schneider .

Life

Magda Schneider was the daughter of the plumber Xaverius Schneider (1878-1959) and his wife Maria (1879-1951), née Meier-Hörmann. She spent her childhood and youth in the Augsburg districts of Kriegshaber and Firnhaberau . After attending a Catholic girls' school and a trade school, she worked as a stenographer in a grain store.

Schneider completed a vocal training at the Leopold Mozart Conservatory in Augsburg and also learned ballet at the city ​​theater . She made her first appearances as a soubrette at the Augsburg Theater and at the Munich State Theater on Gärtnerplatz . Ernst Marischka appointed her to the Theater an der Wien .

In 1930 Schneider was discovered for the film, where she "made the most of the usual typewriter and telephone girl roles". In many of her subsequent films, she sang songs that became evergreens . In 1935 she moved into "Haus Mariengrund" in Schönau am Königsee . While filming the film Kind, I'm Looking Forward to Your Coming (1933), she met her first husband, Wolf Albach-Retty , whom she married in 1937 in Berlin-Charlottenburg . The two children Rosemarie, called Romy (1938–1982), and Wolf-Dieter (* 1941) come from the marriage . The couple separated in 1943 and the marriage was divorced in 1945.

Immediately after the Second World War , the actress secured her livelihood with guest appearances and “colorful evenings”, because there were hardly any film roles at that time. In 1948 she made her first post-war film A man belongs in the house . At the beginning of the 1950s, she received more film offers again. But her interest was now mainly in the career of her daughter, with whom she made several films together, for example When the white lilacs bloom again , Girl years of a queen , Robinson should not die , The German Masters and the three Sissi films.

Magda Schneider's grave

In 1953 she married the Cologne restaurateur Hans Herbert Blatzheim , whom Romy Schneider initially called "Daddy" and later "my mother's second husband". Blatzheim died in 1968. From 1982 until her death, Schneider was married to the cameraman Horst Fehlhaber (1919-2010). She was in front of the camera for the last time in the television series Drei Frauen im Haus and Vier Frauen im Haus in the late 1960s .

Magda Schneider, who was awarded the Gold Filmband in 1982 , lived in Schönau am Königssee until her death in 1996 and was buried there in the mountain cemetery.

After Magda Schneider's death

In the tabloid press and in other publications about her daughter, Magda Schneider's closeness to Adolf Hitler was rumored several times , for example through Michael Jürgs ' The Romy Schneider Case (1991), Jürgen Trimborn's Romy and Her Family (2008) and most recently in Olaf Kraemer's novel Ende one night (2008).

These representations were in some cases successfully disputed legally by the bereaved. The Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt am Main ruled in October 2009 that Kraemer's novel may appear largely unchanged and unredacted.
