Life

The student of Friedrich Mitterwurzer (1844–1897) made her successful debut at the city theater in Innsbruck . From there she came under contract for some time in Nuremberg , then later in Cologne . Then she accepted an engagement in London .

From there she was brought to the German Theater . In 1905 she can be found in the reference work Berlin and the Berliners in the Bohème chapter with the entry: "Arranges cabarets in private companies." The stage yearbook 1907 lists her among the guest actors at the Hamburg Carl Schultze Theater . Feldern-Förster later moved to the Münchner Kammerspiele . During this time she reduced her appearances and founded a private drama school.

According to her personal file at the Munich Police Department (“Duration 1912-1936”), Mara Feldern-Förster was Jewish and married to Hugo Koch, born August 8, 1867 in Homburg . The memorial book - Victims of the Persecution of the Jews under the National Socialist Tyranny 1933–1945 contains the following about him : Imprisonment 11.-15. November 1938 in the Dachau concentration camp , deportation from Munich on June 24, 1942 to the Theresienstadt ghetto and on September 19, 1942 to the Treblinka extermination camp .

How Ms. Koch managed to avoid the murder is not known. After the Second World War, the "resolute Mara Feldern-Förster, who was already retired at the time" is credited with having managed the two Max-Reinhardt- Bühnen Theaters with "her young friend Achim von Biel in a way that is no longer understandable today" and Komödie am Kurfürstendamm in Berlin "to make playable again within a year." In 1946, she herself directed Chekhov's The Bear and A Marriage Proposal in the comedy .
