Paul Albert Glaeser-Wilken
Paul Albert Glaeser-Wilken (born August 3, 1874 in Breslau , † August 4, 1942 in Groß Buchholz near Perleberg ) was a German actor and director.
Life
After dropping out of law studies at the University of Breslau , Glaeser-Wilken switched to acting and received his first training at the Praise Theater in Breslau, from which he moved to the local theater .
At the beginning of the 20th century, the actor toured almost the entire Baltic Sea region with and without a theater company, and had engagements and contracts with city theaters in West and East Prussia as well as Latvia. In 1910 in Elbing he met the actress Lisbeth Wirtson (* 1887 in Danzig ; † 1977 in Lübeck ), who, like him, was engaged at the Elbinger Stadttheater for the 1910/11 season. The couple married in 1913 in Riga , where Glaeser-Wilken was contractually bound to the German Theater there at the time. The years from 1914 to the beginning of the 30s were characterized by engagements at the Berlin Rose Theater , at the city theaters in Köthen , Erfurt , Meiningen , Stuttgart and Rostock (1915–1919/20), and then again from the beginning of the 1919/20 season in Berlin at the Walhalla and later the Rose Theater and at the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm .
The hand-written estate of the actor and director is in the archives of the Perleberger Museum, the legacy of books and theater documents to parts in the theater studies department of the library of the Johann Timotheus Hermes Bibliophilenverbandes Wien (VIII) and the Gerhart-Hauptmann-Museum in the Villa Lassen to Erkner as well as in family ownership.
The game director and actor is (in the paternal line) the grandfather of the writer Paul Alfred Kleinert .
repertoire
Through his direction of plays by Hauptmann, Glaeser-Wilken promoted the performance practice in Wroclaw at the theaters he frequented. He directed works by Schiller , Gerhart Hauptmann , Karl von Holtei , Hermann Sudermann , Ernst Adam von Wildenbruch and Henrik Ibsen , where he worked intensively for the work of the Norwegian playwright, and played in repertoire and premier pieces of the named city theaters. After an outbreak of illness that made a further career as an actor impossible for him, Glaeser-Wilken earned his living with language and speaking lessons. In 1942, at the age of 68, he succumbed to long-term ailments in Groß Buchholz (near Perleberg ) and was buried in the local cemetery.
