Paul Hartmann (actor)
Paul Wilhelm Constantin Hartmann (born January 8, 1889 in Fürth , † June 30, 1977 in Munich ) was a German actor .
Life
The son of Wilhelm Hartmann, head of a toy export company, and his wife Maria, née Betz, took acting lessons from Adalbert Czokke after graduating from high school in 1907 . After a classical theater training Paul Hartmann got an engagement at the Stadttheater Zwickau in autumn 1908 .
In 1910 he played at the Bellevue Theater in Stettin , and in 1911 at the Zurich City Theater . In November 1913 he was engaged by Max Reinhardt at the German Theater in Berlin. At the end of 1917 he was called up for military service.
In 1924 he went to Vienna to the Theater in der Josefstadt , in 1925 he moved to the Burgtheater . From January 1, 1935, he was part of the ensemble of the Prussian State Theater in Berlin , where he stayed until the end of the Second World War . In April 1942 he became President of the Reich Theater Chamber .
Hartmann found his way to film at an early age and initially played young lovers, later romantic and melancholy characters. With the advent of the sound film, Hartmann switched to the field of the tough and relentless hero, for example as a designer and captain alongside Hans Albers in FP1 does not answer and as a self-sacrificing engineer in Curtis Bernhardt's Der Tunnel . Since May 1937 he was a member of the UFA Art Committee . However, his involvement in National Socialist cultural policy and participation in propaganda films such as Pour le mérite (1938) and Ich klage an (1941, directed by Wolfgang Liebeneiner ) did not affect his career or popularity after the Second World War.
After a performance ban imposed in 1945, Hartmann returned to Bonn in April 1948 in the title role in a production of Faust . In the 1950s he worked at the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus , the Berlin Theater am Kurfürstendamm and other theaters in the Federal Republic as well as at the Vienna Burgtheater. He was also able to resume his career as a film actor, although Hartmann now mainly took on supporting roles as an older character actor because of his advanced age.
Hartmann had been married to a Slavonian ballet master since the First World War, who died in 1952. In 1955 he married the painter Elfriede Lieberun. He is buried in the Rosenheim cemetery.
