Robert Steidl around 1910

Robert Steidl (born January 31, 1865 in Hamburg ; † April 24, 1927 there ; actually Hermann Adolf Anton Robert Franke ) was a German comedian, humorist, parodist and author.

Life

Steidl's parents had their own theater. With his couplet appearances first in the Berlin Metropol-Theater and later in the Apollo-Theater , presented stereotypically in a gray frock coat and a gray top hat, he resembles the lecture style of Otto Reutter , with whom he was friends. Occasionally Steidl also acted as a female impersonator . He had brilliant appearances in operettas by Paul Lincke , who was a friend of Steidl and composed the melodies for some of his couplets. For the Cologne Carnival in 1922 he wrote the successful mood song We drown our grandma in her little house , to the tune of which the text My grandma drives a motorcycle in the chicken coop is sung. At times Steidl belonged to the Szczecin singers who gave guest performances in the Reichshallen Theater in Berlin. His recordings on shellac were very extensive, mostly recorded by Deutsche Grammophon . Steidl died in Hamburg on April 24, 1927 and was buried in the Matthäi churchyard in Berlin.
