Walter Ladengast
Walter Ladengast (born July 4, 1899 in Vienna , † July 3, 1980 in Munich ) was an Austrian actor .
Life
He took acting lessons in Vienna and attended the arts and crafts school in Berlin before participating in the war from March 1917 to November 1918. After the war he made his debut at the Neue Wiener Bühne and played in Warnsdorf in 1920 .
For a long time, Ladengast did not get beyond tasks on small Austrian provincial theaters and also worked as a painter. Since the Viennese Sascha film industry only assigned him two tiny roles, he moved to Berlin in the 1930s, where he was gradually used more frequently in film production.
For many years he was committed to inconspicuous, insignificant marginal figures such as workers, petty crooks or victims of the crimes of others, as in 1951 in the American war film Decision Before Dawn , where he was hanged as a deserter by the Nazis shortly before the end of the war. After 1945, Ladengast played at the Vienna Volkstheater and worked for the radio.
It was not until the directors of the New German Film gave the now over seventy-year-old leading roles. In Werner Herzog's Everyone for Himself and God Against All , he embodied the professor Georg Friedrich Daumer , who unshakably takes care of the foundling Kaspar Hauser in order to make him a civilized person. In his last role he played the vampire hunter Van Helsing in Herzog's Nosferatu - Phantom of the Night .
