Life

Max Gülstorff's grave in the Lichtenrade cemetery in Berlin-Lichtenrade

After taking acting lessons from court actor Georg Link, Gülstorff appeared in various theaters from 1900. After he had been on stage in Rudolstadt , he came to the Stadttheater Cottbus in 1908 , where he was engaged until 1911.

In 1911 he moved to the Schiller Theater in Berlin , and in 1915 Max Reinhardt brought him to the German Theater . He also played at the Großer Schauspielhaus , the Komödienhaus and the Volksbühne . He was mostly seen in comical roles. In the summer of 1922 he made a guest appearance at the Neue Wiener Bühne , where he also directed. In June 1924 he was engaged in the Theater in der Josefstadt in Vienna , where he opened with Karl Vollmoeller's Little Uncle has dreamed with the best of reviews and where he also worked as a director , including A Marriage Proposal and The Player . In 1916 he began his film career, which would last for three decades. Gülstorff's appearances were mostly short, he primarily embodied petty philistines of all kinds, especially overly correct officials. In the literary adaptation The Broken Krug (1937) he gave light to Emil Jannings and the mischievous scribe, and in Die Feuerzangenbowle (1944) the high school inspector. He took on one of his greatest film roles in Schwank Raub der Sabinerinnen (1936) as the high school professor Gollwitz, who feared for his reputation.

He was buried in the Lichtenrader Evangelical cemetery in Paplitzer Strasse in Berlin. His grave was kept as an honor grave of the State of Berlin from 1952 to 2014 .
