from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rudolf Jugert (born September 30, 1907 in Hanover as Rudolf Gustav Wilhelm Jugert , † April 14, 1979 in Munich ) was a German film director .

Life

Jugert was the son of a Hanover city administrator. The poet Theodor Körner is one of his ancestors . He attended secondary school up to high school and then studied from 1926 to 1932 at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hanover and then at the universities of Tübingen, Göttingen, Greifswald, Hamburg and Leipzig for 10 semesters of medicine and then for five semesters of philology and theater and newspaper studies as well as art history. He began in 1931 as a dramaturge at the Schauspielhaus Leipzig , where he soon became assistant director, director and finally senior director. In 1938 Jugert went to Rome and began film training with the director and author Alessandro Blasetti in the Cinecittà studios.

From 1939 to 1946 Jugert was assistant director to Helmut Käutner , whom he met in Leipzig. He refused to direct himself until the end of the war. In 1943 he was drafted into the Wehrmacht, where he worked as an interpreter to prepare Italian soldiers for their deployment on the German side, and was taken prisoner by the Americans.

After his return from captivity , he married his childhood friend Katja Julius, daughter of the Hanoverian court photographer Hugo Julius , with whom he had a son Frank-Michael since 1941. In 1947 Jugert directed Film Untitled for the first time. With films like the musical comedy "Hallo, Fräulein" (1949), the highly acclaimed, pacifist drama "Es geht ein Tag" (1950) or the melodramas "Nachts auf den Straßen" (1952; German film award in the categories of film and directing) ) and "Illusion in Moll" (1952), Jugert established himself as a promising and versatile director of high-profile, intelligent entertainment films. Already towards the end of the 1950s, however, his star began to decline after a series of ambitious but less successful works. He devoted himself to different genres, from melodramas and homeland films to period films and comedies. Jugert has been working primarily for television since the early 1960s. In the still young medium he succeeds in developing a new independence - according to his own scripts and artistically largely unmolested, he stages films such as "Berliner Blockade" (1968) and "Das Wunder von Lengede" (1969) as well as TV series such as " The Bastian "(1973) or" Three are one too many "(1977).

Jugert died in 1979 of cancer.
