Biography

Otto Schwartz (1872-1940) was born in Frankfurt am Main. He studied economics, history and art history at the Universities of Bern, Tübingen and Berlin and received his doctorate in philosophy. But already during his studies, Otto Schwartz wrote comedies and farces, which were so successful that he was soon able to devote himself entirely to writing. He wrote several farces with vocals and composed the operetta 'Prima-Ballerina'. He remains best known, however, for the plays he wrote with collaborators like Max Reimann ('Familie Hannemann', 'Der Sprung in die Ehe', 'Willis Frau', 'Börsenfieber oder Er träumt von Ilse', 'Der Fussballkönig'), Toni Impekoven and Carl Mathern ('Der Meisterboxer', 'Was werden die Leute sagen', 'Das Goldene Kalb') and Georg Lengbach ('Der blaue Heinrich, 'Der Bräutigam meiner Frau'). With the rise of National Socialism the Schwartz family moved back to Wiesbaden, where Otto Schwartz died on May 10, 1940 at the age of 68.
