Wolfgang von Waltershausen
Wolfgang von Waltershausen (* 1900 ; † 1973 ) was a German actor.
Wolfgang von Waltershausen was a descendant of the historian and Goethe friend Georg Friedrich Sartorius , who had acquired the Waltershausen estate in Lower Franconia shortly before his death . The acquisition of the baron class of the hereditary Bavarian nobility was linked to the estate; For this reason the family has been called Sartorius von Waltershausen or just von Waltershausen ever since .
Today Wolfgang von Waltershausen is best known for his participation in the semi-documentary film Menschen am Sonntag , directed by Robert Siodmak . After the surprising success of this film, which was still filmed in silence, it was subsequently seen in A Boys' Song from Heidelberg (1930). The following year, Siodmak employed him as a dancer for the Heinz Rühmann film The Man Who Is Looking for His Murderer . After these brief excursions into the film business, which were not exactly accompanied by his family with goodwill, von Waltershausen studied mining and later became a consultant in the " Reichsgruppe Industrie ". After the war, von Waltershausen had to reorient. He went into business for himself and supplied the cultural service, foreign broadcasters, schools and universities with audio cassettes and books in German.
Waltershausen was married twice. The son Ilo emerged from the first marriage with Annemarie von Below, who divorced in 1937. He met his second wife Margit during the Second World War.
