Life

Right after the end of the First World War, Hermann Manfred Voss began studying at a university, which he completed with a doctorate .

At the age of 25 he began his first engagement at the Lübeck City Theater . After stops in Hanover (Deutsches Theater) and Munich ( Volkstheater ), Voß came to Berlin in 1929 to fulfill an obligation at the theater in Behrenstrasse . During these years in Munich and Berlin, Voss was also brought in front of the camera; in the film, however, he was mostly only seen in episode roles. In 1932 Voss went to Nuremberg , and in the following summers he performed on stages in Kolberg and Bad Oeynhausen .

At the time of National Socialism, isolated from season to season, Voss was completely sidelined after two years at the Cottbus City Theater (1934-36) and his last engagement in 1937/38 at a traveling stage (Kurmärkisches Landestheater von Luckenwalde ).

There he received the prisoner no. 7407 and was assigned to the penal company . Voss died four weeks after being admitted to the concentration camp. The official cause of death was heart valve defect , a violent death can be considered likely.
