Rudolf Carl
Rudolf Carl (born June 19, 1899 in Lundenburg , Moravia ; † January 15, 1987 in Graz ) was an Austrian actor and comedian .
Life
Rudolf Carl grew up in the Imperial Orphanage in Vienna because his father died when Rudolf was only four years old and his mother could not support the family on her own. After that he did an apprenticeship in a hardware store. During World War I he served as a simple infantryman. After the end of the war, he took up an acting career and appeared in the amateur stage "Dilettantenverein Nestroybühne Brno" . This was followed by an engagement at the Brno Deutsches Theater , where he soon emerged as a young character comedian. In 1922 he got his first small role in a silent film.
In 1934, Carl took over at the Theater an der Wien and at the Volksoper in Vienna Bufforollen in operetta and worked simultaneously increased for the film.
The film His Last Model, completed in 1936, was made in a German-Hungarian joint production . The actors were Rudolf Carl, Hilde von Stolz , Otto Tressler , Camilla Horn , the actor Paul Javor from the State Theater Budapest and the Hungarian baritone Alexander Svéd .
Rudolf Carl specialized more and more in the hilarious - albeit sometimes gaudily exaggerated - portrayal of naive and slightly stupid characters and made more than 200 films in the course of his career. He achieved great popularity through television with the portrayal of Haberl in the legendary impromptu series of the Leitner family .
In the mid-1960s, he largely withdrew from the film business.
Rudolf Carl was also active as a film director and singer. In 1942 he had considerable success with the hit “ Liebe kleine Schaffnerin” .
His grave is in the central cemetery in Graz , Austria , next to that of the racing driver Jochen Rindt .
Marriages
Rudolf Carl had been married to the merchant's daughter Valerie Hagen since 1928. After her death in 1974 he married the girlfriend of his late wife, Henriette Ahlsen. Rudolf Carl was the father-in-law of the operetta composer Ludwig Schmidseder .

Awards
- 1989: To commemorate the actor's birth 90 years ago, a traffic area in Vienna's sixth district was to be named Rudolf-Carl-Platz . However, the initiative brought in by the district faction of the ÖVP in favor of Carl was unsuccessful, not least in view of Carl's former membership in the NSDAP .
