Life

After his employment at the City Theater in Geneva , Willi Felix Borsche joined the orchestra ensemble at the Royal Court Theater in Hanover on August 1, 1900 , which had been taken over by the Prussian crown in 1866 and was therefore under the general management in Berlin . As one of 67 members of the ensemble, Borsche has been a civil servant in the middle service since then. But it was not until 1901 that Borsche, succeeding violinist Paul Kraft , was able to call himself a “royal chamber musician”.

Borsche's son, the future actor Dieter Borsche , was born in Hanover on October 25, 1909 . As a result of a conflict with the Hanoverian conductor Boris Bruck in the same year, Borsche was initially dismissed in 1909, but then successfully litigated the then King of Prussia and Emperor of the German Empire, Wilhelm II , and as a result was able to take a pension from 1910 onwards Respectively. Secured in this way, Willi Felix Borsche later worked as Kapellmeister himself.

Willi Felix Borsche was married to the oratorio singer Anna Friederike Berta , née Bornmüller .
