Max Grünberg (actor)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Max Grünberg (born December 17, 1876 in Berlin ; † September 29, 1943 there ) was a Berlin actor who played theater in the 1910s and then appeared in 18 silent and three sound films between 1918 and 1934. He has appeared in comedy, crime and period films. Twice, in 1922 and 1926, he was cast in the role of the poet Heinrich Heine . In Hans Kyser's Luther film from 1927 he played the painter Albrecht Dürer . He worked for the directors Richard Eichberg , Johannes Meyer , Erich Schönfelder , Jaap Speyer , Arthur Teuber , Fritz Wendhausen , Friedrich Zelnik and Willy Zeyn .

Grünberg also appeared in cabaret, e.g. B. in Trude Hesterberg's "Wilder Bühne", which opened in September 1921, where he read texts by Salomo Friedlaender (pseudonym: Mynona) and Victor Auburtin . Here he stood on stage with colleagues such as Fritz Kampers , Harald Paulsen and Resi Langer.

He was also a guest on Berliner Rundfunk. In the colorful evenings of the " Funkstunde " he recited works by Fritz Engel, Jenö Heltai , Alfred Lichtenstein , Mynona, Paul Schlesinger (pseudonym: Sling) and Theobald Tiger . There were texts from Expressionist to Dadaist style, often also of sharp-tongued social criticism.

After 1934 there are no more films with him known.

He is not to be confused with his namesake, the violinist, concertmaster and composer Max Grünberg, who lived from 1852 to 1940.
