Werner Bernhardy (actor)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Werner Bernhardy senior , actually Werner Tummeley (born March 14, 1884 in Magdeburg , † July 29, 1953 in Kleinmachnow ) was a German actor and screenwriter .

Life

Bernhardy began in the first decade as an actor in the German provinces (e.g. in Hanau ) and was later mainly on the road as a guest artist. He joined the film industry in 1912 when he was hired by Oskar Messter . In addition, he began to work as a writer.

Bernhardy wrote his first scripts from the late 1910s, which were implemented by directors such as Viggo Larsen ( The Gray Lord , 1917) or Herbert Gerdes ( His three women , 1920). He later appeared in smaller roles as an actor.

Reinhold Lobedanz , who already knew Bernhardy as a guest actor in Schwerin from 1915 to 1916, found him a job in Schwerin after the end of the Second World War. Since Bernhardy was considered politically unencumbered, the American Major General Moore appointed him as General Director at the Mecklenburg State Theater in Schwerin in May 1945 . His deputy during this time was Edgar Bennert . His term of office lasted from May 28, 1945 to July 31, 1947. In July 1953 Bernhardy died in his country house in Kleinmachnow.

Bernhardy also campaigned for actors' concerns; for many years until 1933 he was the district chairman of the cooperative of German theater members in Berlin. Because of his union activities, he was arrested by the National Socialists in May 1933 and imprisoned for several months.

His son was the author Werner Bernhardy junior (1918–2002).
