Margarete Tondeur
Margarete Tondeur (born December 16, 1865 in Altona , † after 1919 ) was a German film and theater actress .
Life
Tondeur was an actor's child, because both her father Max Tondeur and her mother Elisabeth Tondeur , née Lehmann, had been on the stage. Later the father was the owner of a theater school. Margarete secretly studied the roles of his pupils as a child and after her confirmation, not yet quite fifteen years old, she went to the director of the city theater to audition for him. He then recommended her father to let her perform at the Breslau Theater. This happened as "Elfriede" in Benedix "Cinderella". Her performance was successful, but she lacked the necessary stage experience. So she went to Danzig, where she improved it and worked there for a few years. The next stop was Dresden. She convinced Friederike Bognár so much that she recommended the artist to the Burgtheater . There she was hired. Four years later she went to Berlin, where she won Ludwig Barnay for his Berlin theater. But she also worked at the Berliner Schauspielhaus. Although she did not have an easy position at the court theater as the successor to Clara Meyer , she convinced the audience. She left Berlin only to take up a job at the royal theater in Hanover in the field of first conversation lovers and salon ladies. She worked there until at least 1902. Nothing is known about her life thereafter, it was not until 1919 that she reappeared in two films in 1919 as Margarete Tondeur-Jessen , now also as a silent film actress . After that, her life is lost again in the dark. Neither the date nor the place of her death are known.
She also gave dramatic lessons in Wroclaw. One of her students was Meta Jaeger .
