Rudolf Ernst Paul Schündler (born April 17, 1906 in Leipzig , † December 12, 1988 in Munich ) was a German actor and director .
Live and act
Rudolf Schündler was born in Leipzig as the son of a businessman . After school he graduated from the Leipzig drama school and made his debut in 1926 at the theater in Beuthen . This was followed by positions in Zurich , Dortmund and Nuremberg . In the early 1930s he went to Berlin , where he worked in a wide variety of theaters and from 1937 also as a director. Until it closed, he appeared regularly in the comedians' cabaret .
In the film, he played with Fritz Lang in the Nazi banned Dr. Mabuse - continued The Testament of Dr. Mabuse , in Curt Goetz ' Napoleon is to blame for everything , in Kurt Hoffmann's paradise of bachelors and hurray! I am dad! , in Helmut Käutner's clothes people make and many others.
Immediately after the war , Rudolf Schündler founded and directed the now legendary cabaret Die Schaubude in Munich , which quickly developed into a well-known and successful post-war cabaret . As a director, he staged all eight of the theater's programs. Due to the lack of interest in the theater after the currency reform in 1948 , Schündler was forced to file for bankruptcy in 1949 .
From then on, he worked for decades as an actor and director , primarily in the film industry and also in television , to cover his livelihood and to pay off bankruptcy debts . His first directorial work was the film drama Der Geigenmacher von Mittenwald from 1950 based on the play of the same name by Ludwig Ganghofer .
Significant post-war roles in the international film business were those of the servant Karl in William Friedkin's The Exorcist or as mayor of Vimmerby in the Astrid Lindgren film adaptation Michel Must Make More Men .
He remains to a wide audience in Germany as the unfortunate senior teacher Dr. Arthur Knörz in the film series Die Lümmel from the first bank in memory. Through supporting roles in films from the 1960s to the beginning of the 1980s and in TV series such as St. Pauli-Landungsbrücken , in Un-Retirement (ZDF, 1980) and in two episodes of Traumschiffs (1982/83), he shaped himself with the role type of "Strange old man". He was also seen in more sophisticated films, such as Wim Wenders ' Im Lauf der Zeit (1976) and The American Friend (1977). From the mid-1980s he was only seen in smaller guest appearances due to a serious eye condition. Shortly before his death he played the archivist in Michael Verhoeven's feature film The Terrible Girl , which Schündler did not see the world premiere in 1990.
Rudolf Schündler was married four times, a. a. with actress Christine Laszar and had two children. In the last years of his life he lived, almost blind , in Munich, where he was looked after by his son. His grave is in the Munich East Cemetery .
After around 14 years as a producer and co-production manager, his son Oliver Schündler is now the managing partner of Lucky Bird Pictures, a TV and film production company. His daughter lives as a documentary filmmaker and media lecturer in Berlin.
His written estate is in the archive of the Academy of Arts in Berlin.
