Max Reimer (actor)
Max Reimer (in Berlin around 1873 - after 1933) was a German theater actor .
Life
Reimer began his stage career in Krefeld in 1891, came to Düsseldorf in 1894, to Cologne in 1895, to Posen in 1896, to Zurich in 1897, and in 1898 joined the Association of the City Theater in Riga, where he made his debut as "Harpagon". In the last few years before the outbreak of the First World War he was a member of the Berlin Schiller Theater. After the war, during the Weimar Republic, Max Reiner worked almost exclusively at the city theaters of Hanover. In 1933 he disappeared from the public eye; possibly he was Jewish and had to emigrate when the National Socialists came to power.
Reimer represented the first character subject with absolute success, in which he proved to be a cunning performer in both classical and modern plays. He drew the character to be reproduced clearly and firmly, so that the image of the same is clearly visible in front of the auditorium. His presentation was simple and natural, not sought and artificial.
From his main roles are to be emphasized: "The English sick", "Richard III.", "Franz Moor", "Flachsmann", "Marinelli", "Wurm", "Malvolio", "The old Fehringer" ( mother worry ), " Dusterer "etc.
On May 8, 1925, as an actor at the Burgtheater, he witnessed the murder of Todor Panica by Mecha Karnitschewa .
