1903 - 1994

He made his film debut as an actor in 1931 with the production "Yorck". But in the next years didn't follow further engagements as an actor.
Instead of it he got a contract at Tobis to realise movies as a director, an occupation he already practised for the movie "Hier irrt Schiller" (32).
He directed several feature movies and many short movies. To these movies belong "Susanne im Bade" (36), "Stärker als Paragraphen" (36), "Togger" (37), "Der Biberpelz" (37), "Roman eines Arztes" (39), "Die lustigen Vagabunden" (40), "Sechs Tage Heimaturlaub" (41) and "Fahrt ins Abenteuer" (42).

He could continue his film career in 1950 again as a director as well as an actor.
