Sophie Charlotte Ackermann
Sophie Charlotte Ackermann , b. Bier (r) acorn, mated. Schröder (born May 12, 1714 in Berlin , † October 13, 1792 in Hamburg ) was a German actress .
Life
Sophie Charlotte Bierreichel was born the daughter of a gold ticker. In 1734 she married the organist Johann Dietrich Schröder. The marriage was not harmonious, so that she separated from her husband as early as 1738, but without divorcing. She went to the theater and had been a member of the Schönemann troupe in Lüneburg since 1740 , where she soon developed into an extraordinary actress. From 1740 her second husband, Konrad Ernst Ackermann, also belonged to the troupe . Both left the Schönemann troupe in 1742 in a dispute. In the same year Schröder became the head of her own acting troupe, which also included Konrad Ernst Ackermann. Private changes in her life promoted the dissolution of the less successful troupe in 1744, in which her son Friedrich Ludwig Schröder was born and her husband died.
In the following years she tried to support her small family with embroidery, but returned to the stage in 1746 and undertook long trips with the Hilverding troupe. She came to Danzig (1746), Königsberg (1747), Saint Petersburg and Moscow (1748), among others . In Moscow in 1749 she married Konrad Ernst Ackermann, whereupon he founded the Ackermann troupe in Königsberg in 1751, to which the actor Konrad Ekhof also belonged from 1763 . Ackermann also took part in this troupe, as did her two daughters from their second marriage, Dorothea (* 1752) and Charlotte (* 1757), who were already on stage with the troupe when they were young.
As a result of the Seven Years' War , the drama troupe left East Prussia. Numerous guest appearances in Germany followed. The troupe met Gotthold Ephraim Lessing in Berlin in 1755 and performed his Miss Sara Sampson for the first time. Ackermann was Lady Marwood at the premiere. Years of traveling then led to Warsaw, Leipzig, Zurich and Strasbourg until the Ackermann troupe settled in Hamburg in 1764. Here Ackermann was the first actress; she liked to compare herself to the Neuberin . After her husband's death in 1771, she rarely performed. She ended her stage career in 1772 and in 1780 also gave up the management of the Ackermann troupe. She devoted the last years of her life to training young actresses.
