Rudolf Meinhard-Jünger , also Rudolf Meinhard, Rudolf Jünger and Rudolf Meinhardt-Jünger (born December 20, 1880 in Prague , Austria-Hungary as Rudolf Ohrstein, † 1942 in the Riga Ghetto ), was an Austro-German actor and director .
Life
Rudolf Ohrstein, of Bohemian descent, received his acting training at the turn of the century. His first permanent engagement can be proven in 1903 at the Berlin Schiller Theater. He stayed there until 1906 before he went to the Kleine Schauspielhaus in Vienna . After two seasons he signed up to the Neue Wiener Bühne in 1908 . In 1910/11 Meinhard worked at Vienna's Residenzbühne, then he left the Austrian capital.
In 1911 the artist went to the Berlin theater . In the German capital he sometimes called himself Rudolf Meinhard, sometimes Meinhardt-Jünger or also Jünger. Under these names, the Prague-born star appeared in a number of films with supporting roles between 1917 and 1932 and occasionally directed. Most recently, Rudolf Meinhard-Jünger was the administrative director of the Meinhard-Bernauer-Bühnen Carl Meinhard .
As a result of the National Socialist seizure of power , the career of the Jewish artist came to a complete standstill. Nevertheless Meinhard-Jünger remained based in Berlin. From there, Rudolf Ohrstein / Meinhard (t) -Jünger was deported to the Riga ghetto on January 13, 1942 with Transport 8 Zug Da 44, where he was murdered a little later.
Meinhard-Jünger was married twice. In May 1914 he married the Berlin actress Anna Kötteritzsch (* 1882). The divorce took place in 1920. In the same year he married Hildegard Diehne (* 1897). This marriage ended in divorce in 1930.
