Margarethe Otto-Körner
Margarethe Otto-Körner , also Margarete Otto-Körner , née Margarethe Körner (born July 17 or July 23, 1868 in Hamburg ; † June 21, 1937 there ) was a German theater and silent film actress .
Life
She was a theater child, her father was the actor Theodor Körner . She was trained by her foster father, Bruno Manke . Even as a child she was often used on stage until she got her first engagement as a choir player in Lübeck. Then she went to Küstrin. From there they became aware of them in Berlin.
Adolf Ernst had her rehearsal and Emil Thomas signed her for the season after next. In the meantime she completed an engagement in Hanover, where she lost her voice. Karl Sontag , a guest in Hanover at the time, encouraged her, and since her acting talent had not escaped him, he induced her to switch to the salon ladies' profession .
On his recommendation, she was engaged for two years after a successful guest performance in Leipzig. After working for two years, she came to the Brno City Theater, where she achieved a sensational success as "Isa" in "Clemenceau Case". This was her decisive role, in which she appeared in Munich and Vienna (after Adele Sandrock ). The success brought her a three-year non-cancellable contract at the Hamburg City Theater .
In October 1931 she celebrated her 50th anniversary on the stage, 40 years in Hamburg and 25 years with the Deutsches Schauspielhaus Hamburg , of which she was an honorary member. She was married to her fellow actor Alex Otto , whose brother Julius Otto was thus her brother-in-law.
She also made several film appearances, the first in 1898.
