1905 - 1998

The actor Bernhard Minetti made his theater debut at the Reissische Theater Gera in 1927 after a three-year acting school. With this he initiated a great theater career.
His engagements led him in the next years to Darmstadt and finally to Berlin to the Preussisches Staatstheater where he was a member from 1930 to 1945.

Bernhard Minetti made his film debut in 1931 with the movie "Der Mörder Dimitri Karamasoff" (31). In the following years he normally played important support roles in the well-known movies "Berlin - Alexanderplatz" (31), "Der Kaiser von Kalifornien" (36), "Fridericus" (36), "Robert Koch, der Bekämpfer des Todes" (39), "Friedrich Schiller" (40) and "Tiefland" (44).

His name recognition in the film business is no match for the one at the theater. After the war he ignored the film business for a long time and dedicated to the theater. He was very successful at the Deutsches Schauspielhaus Hamburg and appeared in whole Germany with guest performances.

Only from 1957 he took part in movies again from time to time. To his post-war movies belong "Menschen im Netz" (59), "Paris, 20. Juli" (60), "Gideon" (66), "Woyzeck" (66), "König Ödiups" (67), "Die Macht der Gewohnheit" (74), "Der Weltverbesserer" (81) and "Einfach kompliziert" (86).

His children Hans-Peter Minetti and Jeniffer Minetti also became players.
