Willy Reichert (born August 30, 1896 in Stuttgart , † December 8, 1973 in Mietenkam in Chiemgau ) was a German comedian , popular actor and singer .

Life

Willy Reichert was born in Stuttgart as the son of a foreman. After training at the Dr. From Morgenstern in Braunschweig he worked as a sugar technician in a sugar refinery in Hildesheim until he had to enter 1915 and become a soldier.

After the end of the First World War he took acting lessons from Max Bing at the Stuttgart State Theater. In 1921 his acting career began at the Stuttgart Schauspielhaus, where he worked after a few years in the provinces. a. at houses in Zwickau , Landsberg , Heilbronn and a detour to cabaret in Munich , returned in 1926. Here he played theater from 1926 to 1932. In the meantime he had developed from a young comedian with experience in the opera and operetta field to a prominent performing artist. With his own repertoire, Reichert soon no longer only appeared at the Friedrichsbau in Stuttgart, but at all of the larger variety theaters in the Reich.

In 1931, together with Oscar Heiler from Stuttgart, he invented the fictional characters “ Häberle and Pfleiderer ”. Until the 1940s, the comedian duo had great success with these Swabian characters on the variety stages of southern Germany. In the 1950s and 1960s, the two artists became popular through regular radio and (later) television broadcasts.

After the end of the war, Fritz Kortner brought Reichert back to the theater. He appeared again at the Stuttgart Schauspielhaus and in the Stuttgart Comedy.

In the 1950s, Reichert played, mostly as a native Swabian, in numerous homeland and entertainment films. In his last years he worked in various television series alongside radio work. He had great success in his leading roles in the TV series The guests of Felix Hechinger , Willy Reichert in… , Swabian stories , Chronicle of the Nägele family and Germany, your Swabians . In the television game The Bird Doesn't Let Singing , which was broadcast on his 70th birthday in 1966, he played the village pastor Michael von Jung .

Willy Reichert was also known as a singer of Swabian songs. The most successful ones, which are still played in the wish concerts today, are Where a green broom is waving , Karle Hank , Auf der Feuerbacher Heide , Auf dem Echterdenger Flugplatz , Dront am Neckar is a bench , Joggele, mei Bua (I am Soldat, vallera ) , M'r must be able to be lazy , Oh, it would be nice, i if i had enough money and Das Planelied .

Reichert was considered the popular Swabian humorist par excellence. Thaddäus Troll called him "the most famous and popular Swabian since Theodor Heuss died". However, he was not a comedian of loud laughter, rather a quarter philosopher (Reichert) who quietly smiles at his strange contemporaries . His sonorous bass organ underlined the cheerful, contemplative character in his charisma, the "deep amazement, the smile of the sage".

Willy Reichert, who also published numerous books and volumes of poetry in Swabian dialect, was awarded the Great Federal Cross of Merit in 1956 . He lived with his wife Elisabeth and his two children, Thomas and Julia, in Mietenkam in Chiemgau , where he died at the age of 77. Reichert was buried in the old parish cemetery in Grassau , Traunstein district. The Willy-Reichert-Staffel to Karlshöhe in Stuttgart-Süd was named after him.
