Paul Ludwig (actor)
Paul Eduard Ludwig (born November 14, 1885 in Marienwerder , West Prussia , German Empire , † after 1925) was a German singer and silent film actor .
Live and act
Ludwig, who had become an orphan at the age of four, had attended elementary school in Anklam and then the Royal High School in Berlin. He received his artistic training from Emanuel Reicher and at the Marie Seebach Acting School. At the Königliches Schauspielhaus Berlin , he trained with Arthur Kraussneck . Ludwig's first engagements took him to Hildesheim, Kiel, Lüneburg, Nordhausen, Bremen, Breslau and Hamburg. The young up-and-coming artist went on tours to Constantinople , Switzerland, Romania and the Netherlands. His role subject at a young age was the youthful hero and lover.
After Paul Ludwig had trained in singing, he switched to operetta, now played in Berlin ( Theater des Westens , Operettenhaus, Theater in the Kommandantenstrasse ) and went abroad again on guest tours. In this area, Ludwig made a name for himself as an operetta tenor and buffo . He claims to have made his first contact with film as early as 1911, but it wasn't until 1916 that film roles with Ludwig were documented. In just under a decade he played small roles, mostly in dramas and melodramas. After 1925, Ludwig's trail is lost.
