Live and act

The daughter of a bank employee received artistic training from the actress Helene Hartmann and the Baroness von Heldburg , the wife of the art-loving Duke Georg von Sachsen-Meiningen , at the beginning of the 1880s .

At the age of 15 she made her debut in Graz and soon after went to the Meininger Hoftheater, with whose ensemble she went on a tour to London . Pauline Schweighofer career received shortly before her 17th birthday first thrust: The artist was at the Court Theater , where they committed their debut with Vilma in the December 19, 1882 Michael slap comedy Rosencrantz and Guildenstern were. In the following year she went to the Hamburg City Theater for one season , and in 1884 to the Munich Court Theater for another . After an interlude in Graz, Pauline Schweighofer came to Berlin for the first time in 1892 (at the Neue Theater ) via Brno and Kassel , where the Viennese worked at the court theater from 1886 to 1891 .

After further stops in Bremen and tsarist Riga (today Latvia ), she joined the ensemble of the German People's Theater in Vienna in 1897 . Apart from occasional flying visits to other venues (again including the Kasseler Hoftheater), Pauline Schweighofer remained connected to the Volkstheater for the next few decades. In the last decade of her life, the now retired artist only worked as a freelancer. Above all, Pauline Schweighofer's interpretative naturalness and depth in capturing the role figure to be represented were praised. Already at the beginning of the 20th century she grew into the role of the mother.

Pauline Schweighofer joined the film shortly after the end of the First World War . There the artist was primarily entrusted with supporting roles - again mothers of all kinds, but also signed representatives of the bourgeoisie and high nobility (e.g. Princess Bavatory in Unter der Knute des Schicksals ).
