Siegfried Weinmann
Siegfried Weinmann (* 1910 in Königshütte , Upper Silesia ; † September 3, 1996 in Berlin ) was a German cameraman and photographer .
Live and act
Weinmann was born as the son of the silent film cameraman Friedrich Weinmann in Upper Silesia. At the end of the 1920s, he began working as a lighting technician before training to be a cameraman. In addition, Weinmann completed an internship at the production company Afifa .
His first work in 1931 was camera assistant for the films No Man's Land and Straw Widower . In the same year Luis Trenker brought him in as one of several cameramen for his mountain and war film Mountains in Flames . In 1934 he was also part of Leni Riefenstahl's camera team for her NSDAP party conference film Triumph des Willens . Unlike his famous father, Siegfried Weinmann was unable to assert himself in feature films, and he was only allowed to shoot a few short films in the same decade.
After the Second World War , Weinmann was barely able to work in his profession; only his camerawork on the semi-documentary fictional film Vati Does Stupidity is documented . In the later years Weinmann changed his profession and worked as a dental technician.
