Siegfried Breuer
Siegfried Breuer (born June 24, 1906 in Vienna ; † February 1, 1954 in Weende near Göttingen ) was an Austrian theater and film actor who occasionally directed and wrote screenplays for feature films .
Life
His father Hans Breuer (1868 / 1870–1929) was an opera singer and actor in Vienna from Cologne. Siegfried Wagner was his godfather. Breuer trained as an actor at the Academy for Music and Performing Arts in Vienna and made his stage debut at the Vienna Volkstheater in 1924 alongside Paula Wessely and Fritz Eckhardt (who was a good friend of his throughout his life). Over the next few years he played mainly in Vienna , Prague and at the Deutsches Theater Berlin.
He came to film relatively late and was soon subscribed to elegant, but characterless seducers, such as in Der Postmeister (1940) or Romance in Moll (1943), and in anti-Semitic productions he also used the cliché of the malicious Jew ( Der Weg ins Freie 1940/41 , Venus in court , 1941). Breuer was listed as an important actor on Joseph Goebbels ' list of the gifted gods .
After 1945 he directed three films himself and continued to appear as an actor in the cinema and on stage. Siegfried Breuer was married six times, among others with the actresses Maria Andergast , Eva-Maria Meineke and Lia Condrus. His sons Walter Breuer ( Siegfried Jr. ) and Wolfgang Condrus were also actors, as were his grandsons Jacques Breuer and Pascal Breuer .
He was buried in the city cemetery in Göttingen .
