Live and act
Dohnberg was the son of a civil engineer and came to Germany at a young age. In Berlin, immediately after the First World War, he learned his artistic craft from Eduard von Winterstein and Ernst Legal . Dohnberg began his career at the beginning of the 1920s in the provinces (e.g. Nordhausen), after an interlude at Hamburg's Kammerspiele he reached the Berlin theater world in the same decade and was there a. a. Member of the Saltenburg theaters such as the German Art Theater. In 1933 Wolf Dohnberg moved to Dresden and accepted an engagement from the local comedy house. In the Third Reich, until 1945, he alternated between employment as a small actor in film (since 1937) and engagements at Berlin theaters (including the comedy house there and a guest performance director with whom he went on a Wehrmacht support tour).
Wolfgang Dohnberg began his post-war career at the tiny Berlin stage, Tribüne am Knie, in 1948 he founded a room theater in Bremen with Günther Huster in Bremen. In 1950 he moved to the Aachen City Theater, whose board he was also a member in his role as a director. Later theater stations were the Kammerspiele Bremen, the Zimmer Theater in Aachen and finally the Bavarian State Theater in Munich. Although he made his debut in the 1946 post-war film in the groundbreaking rubble film The Murderers Are Among Us (and by the way also starred in the first western zone film, the inconsequential comedy Tell the truth ), Dohnberg's later trips in front of the camera were not very substantial. Most recently he also appeared in a few television games. Dohnberg, who had also worked on several radio plays for Radio Bremen between 1947 and 1950, died in Munich of a stroke.
