Küchenmeister grew up on Gut Felsenhagen in Ostprignitz (today: Prignitz district , municipality of Kümmernitztal ). From 1924 to 1926 she attended the Königin-Luise-Stift in Berlin and then the commercial school in Weimar. Marianne Hoppe took acting lessons from Lucie Höflich and made her debut in 1928 in a matinee at the Berlin youth stage.

She began her career in the theater in the 1930s. From 1928 to 1930 she played at the Deutsches Theater under Max Reinhardt , from 1930 to 1932 at the New Theater in Frankfurt am Main and from 1932 to 1934 at the Münchner Kammerspiele . She was engaged at the Prussian State Theater in Berlin under the artistic director Gustaf Gründgens from 1935 . She was married to him from 1936 to 1946. Marriage was intended to protect both of them from persecution by the Nazi regime : Both were bisexual . In 1946, a relationship with a British journalist for the Daily Mail , Ralph Izzard, whom she had known since 1933, gave birth to her only son, Benedikt Hoppe, who works as a journalist. She lived with actress Anni Mewes in the 1970s .

Marianne Hoppe also became famous as a star of the UFA . Important film roles were that of Elke in the film adaptation of Theodor Storm's novella Der Schimmelreiter and as Effi Briest in One Step From the Path, as well as Madeleine in Romance in minor .

After the Second World War she concentrated on her theater work and was connected to the theaters in Düsseldorf ( Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus ), Hamburg ( Deutsches Schauspielhaus ), Bochum and Frankfurt am Main . Most recently she was seen regularly in the Berliner Ensemble and at the Vienna Burgtheater . She was still on stage until the old age of 88. In Kir Royal (1986) she played an episode lead role.

The outstanding works include King Lear directed by Robert Wilson and the quartet by Heiner Müller directed by the author, Am Ziel ( Salzburg Festival , 1981) and Heldenplatz ( Vienna Burgtheater , 1988) by Thomas Bernhard (both directed by Claus Peymann ). Her last role she played at the Berliner Ensemble as a substitute for the ailing Bernhard Minetti in The resistible rise of Arturo Ui by Bertolt Brecht , directed by Heiner Müller.

In 2001 Werner Schroeter's documentary Die Königin - Marianne Hoppe caused a sensation again.

Hoppe's style of playing was characterized by a mixture of both boyhood and strength as well as cool detachment and fragility. A charismatic attraction captivated their audience. Not infrequently she also came out with her own literary programs; after the tragic death of Ingeborg Bachmann , she put together a recitation evening with texts by the writer, which was also published as a speech record .

Marianne Hoppe lived in Siegsdorf in Upper Bavaria . Her grave is also in the cemetery there.

The German Theater Museum in Munich acquired her estate in 2016.
