Live and act
Linnekogel began to work artistically immediately after the First World War and produced numerous graphics (drawings) that were sometimes strongly influenced by the horror of war, but also by the fantastic worlds of filmic expressionism . He published frequently in The Flying Leaves and The Orchid Garden . Almost at the same time (from 1920) Linnekogel began working for the film at very irregular intervals, initially (during the silent film era) in Munich and later in Berlin.
In the years 1937 to 1940 in particular, Linnekogel appeared as a screenwriter of mostly dramatic material, in 1938/39 and 1940 he also directed films : I refuse to testify with Olga Chekhova and Albrecht Schoenhals was a mixture of crime and society - and court film, Herz ohne Heimat with Anneliese Uhlig and again Schoenhals was a love story set in so-called “better circles”. After the Second World War, Otto returned Linnekogel only once the film back when he 1953 Mediterranean shores (Naples, Capri, Ischia, Corsica) and in his adopted hometown of Hamburg, where he lived after 1945, the inconsequential trip comedy Under the stars of Capri by directed his own (and Gregor von Rezzoris ) script.
