Margarete Lanner
Margarete Lanner , also Marga Lanner , married Margarete Countess Aichelburg (born February 17, 1896 in Hamburg as Margarethe Helene Langlotz , † 1981 in Vienna ) was a German silent film and theater actress .
Life
Margarete Lanner began her stage career in Hanau in 1917 . After another commitment - in Frankfurt they played at the New Theater and the Kammerspiele - she returned in 1919 back to their native Hamburg, where she by the resident production company Vera film works GmbH received her first film contract and in the same year in Brutal ago the camera debuted.
In the following years Margarete Lanner was occupied frequently; In 1920/21 alone she was seen in almost a dozen films alongside stars who had traveled to Hamburg such as Emil Jannings and Conrad Veidt . There were consistently productions of little artistic importance, in which Margarete Lanner mostly played the female lead. She even played a double role in Slaves of Vengeance .
She has since arrived in Berlin and continued her film career there in 1924 with leading roles in what remained unspectacular productions. Her involvement in Fritz Lang's legendary production Metropolis was limited to a supporting role that had been rare until then. Shortly before the end of the silent film age, after another series of supporting and increasingly rare leading roles, Margarete Lanner largely ended her work for the cinema. In the sound film she was only seen in 1936 with supporting roles in two productions of Euphono-Film.
After that she largely disappeared from the public eye and returned to the theater as an actress and singer under the abbreviated name Marga Lanner. However, she hardly received any permanent engagements; there is evidence of a commitment to the municipal stage of Innsbruck in the 1938/39 season.
