Life

Schilling received private acting lessons from Dora-Maria Herwelly in Bremen from 1947 to 1949. She had her first stage engagement at the State Theater in Oldenburg . From 1951 to 1961 she was a permanent member of the ensemble at the Städtische Bühnen Leipzig. In 1954 she played the title role in Schiller's play The Maiden of Orleans . She appeared as a guest at the Volksbühne Berlin in the 1960s . In 1970 she became a member of the Berliner Ensemble . In the 1980s she appeared as a theater actress in Bremen, at the State Theater in Hanover and at the City Theater in Heidelberg .

Since the late 1950s, Schilling also took on roles at DEFA and on television in the GDR . Her best-known film role was the role of the vain queen and deceitful-evil stepmother of Snow White in the DEFA fairy tale film of the same name from 1961. In the television film The Valley of the Seven Moons (1967), she “impressively” played the role of the waitress Stephanie. Schilling himself described this as a "wonderful role".

From 1944 Schilling was married to the German actor and voice actor Harald Halgardt . They met in a youth group at the theater, which later had to be closed for financial reasons. When he got an engagement in Leipzig in 1949, she went with him. After Schilling lived with her husband in the GDR for 35 years , they moved back to Schilling's hometown of Bremen in 1984. In an interview with the magazine SUPERillu , Schilling explained: "The political guidelines in art then no longer suited us."

Schilling suffered from polyarthrosis ; therefore she could hardly walk and had to rely on her husband for the last few years of her life.
