Life
Bollmann, son of the actor and theater director Karl Bollmann, was a cabin boy on a Dutch trading sailing ship in his youth, then a merchant's apprentice and went to the stage in 1862 without having had any dramatic training. He began his acting career as a choir singer in Hamburg, then came to Schleswig-Holstein (1864-1865), Lübeck (1867), Königsberg (1868 and 1869), Krolltheater in Berlin (1870), Friedrich Wilhelmstädter Theater there (1872– 1875), was obliged from there to the Hamburg City Theater (1876–1880), and in 1881 followed a call to the Residenztheater in Hanover.
He was an actor who, in both large and small roles, knew how to put his audience in the best mood through his wit, humor and often drastic comedy without being intrusive.
