Raimund Schelcher
Raimund Schelcher (born March 27, 1910 in Dar es Salaam , † March 27, 1972 in Berlin ) was a German actor .
Life
Born in what was then German East Africa as the son of a railway engineer and a violinist, he came to Germany with his parents at the age of fourteen, where he attended the secondary school in Cologne-Kalk from 1924 to 1928 . After secondary school , he found the theater. From 1928 to 1930 he took acting lessons at the municipal drama school in Cologne.
In 1930 he made his debut as Ferdinand in Kabale und Liebe at the Stadttheater Gießen . In 1933 he moved to the New Theater in Frankfurt am Main, in 1934/35 he played at the Deutsches Schauspielhaus in Hamburg, from 1935 to 1938 in Leipzig and finally at the Schiller Theater in Berlin. In 1939 he received his first film roles.
For reasons unknown, he was arrested by the Gestapo on August 28, 1939, shortly before the start of the Second World War , and assigned to a " probation battalion " as a soldier . He was wounded four times before he was taken prisoner by the Soviets. After his release in 1949, he took up his profession again at the Bremen City Theater . In 1950 he went to the German Theater in the east of Berlin and made a guest appearance at the Volksbühne . From 1953 he worked at the Berliner Ensemble . Schelcher played, among other things, the fool in Was ihr wollt , Jakob in Gorkis Die Feinde and Simon Chachava in Brecht's The Caucasian Chalk Circle .
In addition, Schelcher became a very busy DEFA actor in the 1950s . His sharp facial features made him the ideal class-conscious proletarian in the film, as in the two Thälmann films or the understanding People's Commissar in Berlin - corner of Schönhauser… .
In later years the actor, who suffered from alcohol problems, was only used occasionally. His first marriage was to actress Lore Hansen , and later to Annelies Wanckel.
His written estate is in the archive of the Academy of Arts in Berlin.
