Max Wogritsch

Geboren 6 jun 1880 · Dresden, Germany

Wogritsch had received musical training and played as a cellist before he began his first acting engagement at the Zurich City Theater in 1906 . He stayed there for the next five years and in 1911 moved to the Stadttheater Düsseldorf . Max Wogritsch appeared there until the end of the First World War and, since August 11, 1911, also appeared in films of Düsseldorf and Berlin provenance, including two early Asta Nielsen successes. Based in Berlin since 1919, Wogritsch concentrated on his work for the cinema. From the early 1920s he worked primarily as a unit manager, occasionally also as a production manager. In the 1930s, Wogritsch earned his living as a scheduler and manager in the audio engineering department at Tobis .
