Live and act

The son of business clerk Max Pohl attended an elementary and community school and then completed an apprenticeship as a precision mechanic at Siemens and also received training in singing and piano. In October 1929, just in time for the introduction of talkies in Germany, Pohl began his employment at UFA . As a sound engineer, he worked on records and music as well as film recordings, where he oversaw well-known entertainment productions such as Madame Bovary , Pour le Mérite , Hallo Janine , Der Gasmann , Via Mala , Morituri , Kinder, Mütter und ein General and Gustaf Gründgens ' Faust Film adaptation and the Zarah Leander vehicle The Queen's Heart , The Path into the Open , The Great Love , Back then , Gabriela and With you it was always so beautiful . With the decline of “Papas Kino” in the early 1960s, Pohl's film career also petered out. In May 1979 he moved from Hamburg, where he had lived after 1945, to his hometown Berlin.
