Life

His career began in 1910 at the Deutsches Theater in Berlin, where he worked in the field of "youthful hero". In 1913 he went to the Volksbühne and in 1915 to the Burgtheater in Vienna .

Here he was seen as Franz in Götz von Berlichingen , as King of France in King Lear , Kosinsky in Die Räuber , Karl in Maria Magdalene , Laertes in Hamlet , Octavius ​​in Antonius and Cleopatra , Lionel in The Maiden of Orléans and Gottwald in Gerhart Hauptmanns Hanneles Ascension . Towards the end of the Second World War he became a member of the ensemble of the Kammerspiele of the German Theater.

He was slow to gain a foothold in film, and it wasn't until the 1930s that he often worked as a supporting actor in various productions. He usually played people of respect such as the military, police officers and directors without attracting too much attention.

In 1937 one of his two twin sons, Peter Schott, died in Vienna.

After the end of the war, Schott concentrated again on working on the Berlin theaters and performed at the Schlosspark- and Schiller Theater .
