Walter Steinweg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Walter Steinweg (born October 12, 1899 in Düsseldorf , † 1960 in Witten ) was a German stage and film actor .

Live and act

Steinweg began his stage career immediately after the First World War and initially played in small theaters such as the Schwäbische Volksbühne in Stuttgart. In later years there was hardly any evidence of Steinweg's involvement in the festival. With the onset of the Nazi era, Steinweg began to film intensively. In more than 50 films in just eleven years, Steinweg covered almost the entire range of roles in tiny batches. He played petty employees, sailors, bartenders, shareholders, actors, telegraph operators, reporters, soldiers, secretaries, artists and a boatswain in the propaganda film Titanic , one of his last works. After 1945, Walter Steinweg was neither in film nor as a permanent member of a theater company.
