German postcard by EAS, no. 5 / 1899. Gudrun Hildebrandt was a well-known German dance artist, who also appeared in a few silent films. Although she was one of the most photographed artists of her time and there are dozens of postcards of Hildebrandt, she seems forgotten now. It is hard to find information about Gudrun Hildebrandt on the net. This is what we found: Gudrun was the daughter of a journalist, who worked for Kaiser Wilhelm II. He purchased all the gifts for the Kaiser. He was Jewish, but christened as a baby. As an adult, Gudrun danced to the music of Chopin in theatrical productions and performed in productions as Wolk und Wind. The beautiful dancer became a popular subject for dozens of postcards. It was a logical step to the cinema. According to IMDb, Gudrun Hildebrandt appeared in only two films. Under the lemma Gudrun Hildebrand you can find Das Leben ein Roman (1913). Produced by Alfred Duskes fot Duskes Kinematographen- und Film-Fabriken GmbH and directed by Carl Bernhardt. Under ‘Gudrun Hildebrandt’ we found the short comedy Fräulein Puppe - Meine Frau (1914) about a puppet which comes to life. This is an Uranus-Film-Gesellschaft Franz Scholling & Co production directed by the Polish director Danny Kaden (a.k.a. Nunek Danuky), and produced by Franz Scholling. Hildebrandt played the title character and the cast also included Kurt Gerron, Hermann Picha and Fritz Schulz. The German Early Cinema Database gives a third title: Zwischen den Jahrhunderten (1916), a production by Luna Film. This site also gives a description of the manuscript by Carl Schönfeld for Das Leben ein Roman: “A foster child is chased away. An earl takes her in. When his son is going to marry, she takes poison, but not enough.” Around 1920, Gudrun Hildebrandt had a dance school in Berlin and she published the book Grammatik der Modernen Tänze. She also published in dance magazines. In her book, Frenchy: I Wanted to Get Back at Hitler, Tracy L. Shaler relates the life of a niece of Hildebrandt, Jeannette Grünfeld Marx, and gives also information about Hildebrandt. Gudrun was married to Grünfeld’s uncle, Benjamin (or Benedikt) Marx, a successful businessman and an elected member of the Social Democratic Party. In 1930 their bourgeois lifestyle was interrupted by the elections when the Nazi party won 107 seats in the Reichstag. Benedikt and Gudrun fled Germany shortly before Hitler was made Reichs Cancellor. What later happened with Gudrun Hildebrandt is unclear to us. How was her life in England. Where and when did she die? If you know the answers, please send a mail and share the info. Sources: Tracy L. Shaler (Frenchy: I Wanted to Get Back at Hitler), The German Early Cinema Database, and IMDb.
German postcard by Autor Film Co. G.m.b.H., Berlin, nr. 52. Sturdy and blond Henny Porten (1890-1960) was one of Germany's most important and popular film actresses of the silent cinema. She became the quintessence of German womanhood, ladylike yet kindhearted and a not a little petit bourgeois. She was also the producer of many of her own films.
