Wilhelm Diegelmann (born September 28, 1861 in Ellers, today in Neuhof (near Fulda) , † March 1, 1934 in Berlin ) was a German actor .
Life
He began his stage career in 1878 in the choir of the Frankfurt Opera . In 1881 he made his acting debut at the Frankfurt City Theater . There he embodied the title characters in Wallenstein , Nathan the Wise , Wilhelm Tell and King Lear .
Around 1900 he moved to Berlin, where he appeared especially at the Deutsches Theater . He was later seen at the Berlin Theater , the Great Playhouse and the German Art Theater .
In 1913 he came to film through Max Reinhardt . Diegelmann became a busy supporting actor here, often in father figures, but increasingly also in rather comical batch roles. In the classic The Blue Angel, for example, he embodied a captain who, unsuspectingly, hooks up with the singer Lola Lola ( Marlene Dietrich ) after a boat trip and who promptly feels the jealousy of her new husband ( Emil Jannings ). In his last film, he was seen as an old dyke in the Storm adaptation Der Schimmelreiter . Diegelmann continued to appear on the Berlin stages, most recently in Hans Kyser's Rembrandt on trial shortly before his death.
He found his final resting place in the south-west cemetery in Stahnsdorf , but the grave no longer exists.
