Mathilde Schacht

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mathilde Schacht , née Quendt (* before 1888 in Hamburg ; † October 9, 1941 in Hanover ), was a German theater actress and soubrette .

Life

Schacht began her stage career at the Thalia Theater in her hometown in Low German plays with Lotte Mende . During her time at the theater in Strasbourg she met the actor Eduard Schacht , whom she married and had several children with him, including the author Roland Schacht and the architect and graphic artist Walter Schacht . When her husband was taken to the Royal Theater in Hanover, where he played from 1891, the family moved with him, and Mathilde Schacht interrupted her stage career.

After her husband died in 1893 at the age of 29 a few weeks after the birth of their youngest son Walter, Mathilde Schacht reappeared and took on pleasure and acting roles as soubrette, sometimes also in the old subject . Notable roles were, for example, the wet nurse in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet , as the chambermaid “Rosa” in Ferdinand Raimund's drama Der Verschwender and the role of the hunchback “Anne” (“Appelhanne”) in Karl Niemann's comedy Wie die Alten sungen .
