Gertrud Wolle

Gertrud Wolle (March 11, 1891 Urbès-July 6, 1952 Munich) a.k.a. Wolle was a German actor.

Wolle began her acting career in Berlin in 1913 and appeared in over 70 films throughout her career. She was known for her roles in silent films, including "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" (1920) and "Varieté" (1925), as well as her work in sound films, such as "Der Mann, der Sherlock Holmes war" (1937). She was also a successful stage actor, known for her performances in plays by Bertolt Brecht and other prominent German playwrights. Despite her success, Wolle faced significant challenges during World War II, as her Jewish heritage made her a target of persecution by the Nazi regime. She was ultimately forced to flee Germany in 1938 and lived in Switzerland and the United States before returning to Munich in 1950. Wolle died two years later at the age of 61.
