Life

Düringer, who initially studied medicine in Heidelberg at the request of his parents, quickly turned to the art of acting. He was engaged in Mannheim (1826–1828), Freiburg, Frankfurt, Vienna, Hamburg, Munich, Leipzig (1835–1843) and again in Mannheim (1843–1853). Most recently he worked in Berlin (1853–1870) as artistic-technical director at the Royal Theater .

First and foremost, Düringer was successful as an actor and director, but he was also active as a poet and writer. The composer Albert Lortzing was one of his closest friends . Together with him, Düringer wrote at least one libretto, as well as a number of songs and poems for Lortzing's operas that cannot be precisely determined to this day.

In 1829 he married the opera singer Caroline Lange .

Retired due to illness, he moved to Coburg in 1870, where he died on May 12th.
