Life

Schütte began studying art and music history in Vienna in 1930 and took acting and singing lessons (voice: baritone, but later he was mostly used as a tenor). Then he went to Berlin, where he continued his artistic training. After a raid on the Berlin gay scene, Schütte spent two months in “protective custody” in Lichtenburg concentration camp from December 1934 . He then went to Paris . From 1936 to 1940 he was engaged as an opera and operetta singer at the Städtisches Theater in Kiel . In 1940 he married the actress and half-Jewish Brigitte Mira .

During the war he was employed in the same subject at Hamburg's Volksoper am Millerntor. At the end of the war, Schütte stayed in the Hanseatic city and took on duties at the Flora Theater and the Operettenhaus. In 1951 the singer returned to the Hamburg Volksoper for one season . The following year he made a guest appearance in Berlin , only to return to Hamburg in 1953. In this year Peter Schütte was hired as an actor for the first time with his commitment to the Deutsches Schauspielhaus . During this time he was seen as Heinrich von Kleist's Amphitryon and as K. in Franz Kafka's The Trial .

In the fall of 1955 he followed a call to Bremen and also appeared as a guest at the Stuttgart State Theater . In 1958 Schütte went to Zurich to fulfill an obligation at the theater there . Since the 1960s Schütte stayed in his adopted home and performed there at the Thalia Theater and Ida Ehres Kammerspiele, among others .

During his stay in Hamburg in the summer of 1947 Werner Klingler offered him a film role in his production Arche Nora . Until he was approached by television for the first time in 1954, Schütte only stood sporadically in front of the (film) camera. Of stately stature, Schütte was henceforth preferred to be an officer and nobleman, doctor or company director. In three television plays from 1970 he portrayed two important personalities of Nazi contemporary history: Field Marshal Paulus and twice the resistance fighter Carl Goerdeler .

Schütte played his last role as Count in the movie Der Lord von Barmbeck by Ottokar Runze . Peter Schütte committed suicide during the filming. He was buried in the Ohlsdorf cemetery in Hamburg in grid square AE 27 (west of chapel 6).
