 The first steps of Eugen Klöpfer into the world of the theater
weren't very easy. He was engaged as a worker for the Landshut theater
in 1905 where he had to get through a long and hard teaching. In this time
he went through nearly each thinkable mishap. One time his hair burned
down on the stage he he stood there completely bald headed.
Only in the 1910's he had first little successes. He developed into
a fascinated personality and soon belonged to the favourite actors of Max
Reinhardt ensemble.
His favourite part were strenght characters. When the film business
became aware of his successes it engaged him for interesting roles. From
1919 he appeared in many silent movies like "Die Arche" (19) and "Menschen"
(20) and he acted under the direction of F. W. Murnau in the movies "Sehnsucht"
(20), "Der brennende Acker" (22) and "Die Austreibung" (23).
Because of his catchy face he got many other engagement and he also
became an important film actor.
His career passes smoothly to the sound film where he was convincing
with productions like "Wilhelm Tell" (33), "Friedrich Schiller" (40) and
"Friedemann Bach" (41).
With the movie "Flüchtlinge" followed some screen appearances in
propaganda movies, among others "Jud Süss" (40) under the direction
of Veit Harlan.
After the war he was confronted with his participation in these movies
and he got a acting prohibition; moreover he had to spend a imprisonment
for two months.
His impressive film career was finished but he was able to put on some
theater plays with his own ensemble later.
