The actress Hermine Sterler began her career at the age of 24 at the Residenztheater in Hannover. After other stations she came to Berlin where she not only acted on stage but also joined the film business.

She made her film debut in 1921 with "Die Hexe" (21) and in the next years she impersonated numerous roles in silent movies like "Der böse Geist" (22), "Der Mann mit der eisernen Maske" (23), "Paganini" (23), "Menschen untereinander" (26), "Die Waise von Lowood" (26), "Frau Sorge" (28) and "Das Mädel aus der Provinz" (29).

She was able to continue her film career in the sound film era of the 30s and she took part in "Der Andere" (30), "Zwei Menschen" (30), Alfred Hitchcocks "Mary" (31), "Der Raub der Mona Lisa" (31), "Rasputin, Dämon der Frauen" (32) and "Eine von uns" (32).

As a Jew she was not able to work any longer in Germany from 1933 and therefore she went to Austria where she appeared again in few movies like "Alles für die Firma" (35) and "Kleine Mutti" (35). But with the  annexation of Austria to the German Reich her career came to an end in Austria as well.

Hermine Sterler emigrated to London and afterwards to the USA where she continued her film career with smaller roles.
