Life

Margarete Wiedekes tombstone on the south-west cemetery Stahnsdorf

She worked in the field of cabaret mainly between 1900 and the First World War. Among other things, she was engaged as a soubrette at the German-American Theater (1905), the Bernhard-Rose-Theater (1907), the Sanssouci-Theater, the Berlin Theater and the Komödienhaus (1911) in Berlin. As an entertainer at the time, as a singer and actress, she preferred the light genre to frivolous and revealing lyrics.

Although she was not endowed with a voice that was charming for her time, she recorded a huge selection of songs on cylinders and discs at most of the recording companies of the time (Anker, Beka, Edison, Favorite, Globophon, Gloria, Grammophon, Harmonie, Homophon , Isiphon, Kalliope , Lyrophon, Noraphon, Odeon, Polyphon, Vox, Zonophon). Some tracks have even been recorded by several record companies. She reproduced pieces by well-known and less well-known composers of the light muse of their time ( Wilhelm Aletter , Edmund Eysler , Leo Fall , Jean Gilbert , Victor Holländer , Georg Jarno , Leon Jessel , Viktor Keldorfer , Walter Kollo , Paul Lincke , Franz Lehár , Wilhelm Lindemann , Rudolf Nelson , Willy Rosen , Harry Waldau [= Valentin Pinner ]). She has performed in duets with various male partners such as Ludwig Arno, Max Heye, Max Kuttner , Carl Nebe and Hermann Wehling.

After the First World War, she increasingly appeared as a lecturer and participated in radio plays on the Berlin radio.

From 1919 onwards she occasionally took on supporting roles in film; in the 1930s she was also involved in two sound films. In the detours of the beautiful Karl of Carl Froelich (premiered on January 31, 1938) and Carl Boese's comedy Five million are looking for an heir (premiered on April 1, 1938), they can still be seen in small supporting roles.

Your final resting place is in the south-west cemetery Stahnsdorf .
