life and work

Grave of Trude Possehl

Trude Possehl was the daughter of Ernst Possehl (1872–1947) and Marie Possehl nee. Behrens (1874–1965) born. Her father was a costume designer at the Deutsches Schauspielhaus in Hamburg under the direction of Alfred von Berger. She did not fulfill her father's dream of becoming a teacher, instead she took private acting lessons from Franz Kreidemann , whom she financed as Senate Secretary in Hamburg's City Hall.

Trude Possehl made her stage debut in Gelsenkirchen as Hedda Gabler in Henrik Ibsen 's drama of the same name. She also played the title role in GB Shaw's Die heilige Johanna in Recklinghausen. She appeared in revues and on traveling stages, played classical and expressionist theater and was a member of political street theater in the early 1930s. Trude Possehl mainly worked in Hamburg, where she appeared in the Schiller Theater and at the Operettenhaus , among others , until she finally came to the St. Pauli Theater in 1953 , to which she was a permanent member of the ensemble until 1976. Here she delighted the Hamburg audience in numerous comedies with local Hanseatic color, often as a partner of Christa Siems .

Trude Possehl was a rare guest on television. One of her few roles was - again together with Christa Siems - that of Mrs Barfey in Das Beil von Wandsbek, based on the novella by Arnold Zweig . In his 1989 documentary Die Hamburg-Rolle , the director and screenwriter Horst Königstein interviewed her as a contemporary witness. This documentary can be viewed in full on YouTube.

Trude Possehl died on November 30, 1994 and was buried in the family grave at the Hamburg cemetery in Ohlsdorf . The grave is located at Chapel 9, field AC36-36 / 37.
