Life

Wilhelmine Sandrock was the oldest child of the German businessman Eduard Sandrock (1834-1897) and the Dutch actress Johanna Simonetta (called Nans) ten Hagen (1833-1917). She grew up with her siblings Christian Sandrock and Adele Sandrock , first in Rotterdam and later, after their parents divorced in 1869, in Berlin , where she went to school and learned the German language.

Sandrock took on small acting roles at school festivals early on and took great pleasure in them. With the consent of her parents, she received singing lessons from Theodor Kullak at the Neue Akademie der Tonkunst ; her mother and later the court actor Heinrich Oberländer gave her acting lessons. With his support, she was soon able to make her debut at the Königliches Schauspielhaus Berlin .

Sandrock was later signed to the Wallner Theater . From there she went to the court theater in Saint Petersburg . After this engagement she returned to Berlin and was the first to be seen as "Puppet Princess" at the Kroll'schen Theater .

In addition, she also appeared again and again as a singer; with her violet couplet (sung in Dutch) she achieved extraordinary success. In the spring of 1884 she was brought to Vienna by the director of the Burgtheater , Adolf von Wilbrandt . Between 1895 and 1898 she performed there regularly with her younger sister Adele. She was also briefly in a relationship with Hermann Bahr , while her sister Adele and Arthur Schnitzler had a relationship. In 1898 she moved to the Kaiserjubiläums-Stadttheater .

After the First World War , Sandrock withdrew from the stage and settled in Berlin-Charlottenburg. When her sister Adele died in 1937, she completed her autobiography and published it in 1940. She died at the age of 87 in November 1948 and found her final resting place in the grave at the Matzleinsdorf cemetery in Vienna , where Adele was the first to be buried in 1937 and the bones of her deceased parents exhumed from a family grave.
