Paul Zink (actor)

Paul Zink , actually Gustav Albert Paul Zink (born October 23, 1841 in Breslau , † June 4, 1900 in Dresden ) was a German theater actor and director .

Life

Zink, the son of a royal official, made his debut in Liegnitz / Silesia in 1859. He was then engaged in Görlitz (according to other sources his debut took place there), in Glogau / Silesia (1867), Kiel, Stralsund and Berlin. In 1874/75 he was engaged as a director and actor at the Stadttheater Memel, in this role probably also in Tilsit during this time. In 1875/76 he was engaged in the same functions at the Augsburg Theater. Everywhere he worked as a hero player and often in all engagements as a director. 1876–1878 he was chief director at the Reunion Theater in Berlin. From 1878 to 1880 he was the technical director of the Liegnitz City Theater. This was followed by engagements as a director and actor in Magdeburg (1881/82), Posen (1882/83) and Breslau.

After 1880, only his involvement in the 1884/85 season as an actor, "artistic director" and director at the Belle Alliance Theater in Berlin is artistically worthy of mention. There he performed with Marie Seebach and Franziska Ellmenreich, among others .

From the beginning of 1885 until his death in 1900 he was a member of the Royal Court Theater in Dresden .

Zink had a fine talent for sharp characterization, a melodious and powerful voice and a fine understanding of the nature of his roles. Zink was married to the actress Luise Karlsberg (1838–1889) and his second marriage to the actress Anna Clara Eysoldt (approx. 1847–1916) until his death .
