from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Reinhold Lütjohann (born August 3, 1881 in Lübeck , German Empire , † August 6, 1958 in Hamburg-Groß Flottbek ) was a German actor in the stage and film industry.

Live and act

Lütjohann began his stage career at the age of 20 at the Wilhelm Theater in his hometown Lübeck. Engagements followed, which took him for eight years to the Deutsche Schauspielhaus in Hamburg and the Bavarian State Theater in Munich, and until 1944 to the Theater des Volkes in Dresden . At a young age he acted as a “lover of enchanting freshness” as it was called in the German Stage Yearbook on the occasion of his 70th birthday in August 1951.

After 1945 he continued his work at the Lübeck City Theater , the Junge Theater in Hamburg and the New Altona Theater in the same city . Now he had grown into a father's profession. From then on Lütjohann was seen with heavy character roles in numerous classical and modern pieces: He played Strähler in colleague Crampton by Gerhart Hauptmann , Hamlet , Orestes in Iphigenie , Faust , Gyges in Friedrich Hebbel's Gyges and his Ring , Ferdinand in Friedrich Schiller's Cabal and Love , the Marquis Posa in Don Karlos , the President in Heinrich von Kleist's The Prince of Homburg and Nathan the Wise .

The film only had a very subordinate role in Reinhold Lütjohann's artistic work. Apart from a silent film role in an insignificant production by Heinrich Brandt , the Lübeck man was mainly seen in films made during the Third Reich . After the war , Reinhold Lütjohann only appeared in front of the camera twice: for a cinema production and a television film , his last work. Lütjohann has also worked as a voice actor and radio play speaker , mainly for the NWDR Hamburg (e.g. with Albert Ballin , around 1950, Not only at Christmas time , 1952, and Barabbas , 1953).
