The actor René Deltgen attended the acting school in Cologne
from 1927 and learned there among others to speak the German language without
an accent (René Deltgen was born in Luxembourg).
From 1929 he got regular engagement at theaters in Cologne and Frankfurt,
and the actor Eugen Klöpfer brought him
to Berlin where he soon became a popular actor in classical productions.
René Deltgen made his film debut in 1935 with the movie "Das
Mädchen Johanna". Because of his agreeable appearance and his intensive
performance he soon became a star and impersonated hero roles in action
and adventure movies. To his well-known movies of that time belong "Unter
heissem Himmel" (36), "Urlaub auf Ehrenwort" (37), "Kautschuk" (38), "Kongo-Express"

now and then, so in "Die 3 Codonas" (40) an artist who was broken by his
conflicts, in "Das grosse Spiel" (42) a football centre and in "Wen die
Götter lieben" (42) the composer Ludwig van Beethoven.
After the war he earned his living as a chef de cuisine and as a horse
trainer at a circus for the time being. When teamed up with actor Karl
John for a topical-satirical program he finally was able to take action
as an actor again.
For the present followed engagements at the restored theaters before
he became offered a movie role again in 1949.
