Jochen Huth
Huth, Joachim Karl Werner Heinrich (Birth name), Schwarzer, Philipp (Alternative)
author, actor
* 24.05.1905
† 17.11.1984
After gaining stage experience and writing radio plays, theatre works, and scripts, the son of a family of actors adapted his work “Die vier Gesellen” (1938) for Carl Froelich’s film under that title. During the National Socialist period, Huth remained with his Jewish partner. The couple emigrated to the USA in 1939. As of 1950, Huth began writing scripts again in West Germany.
About the Estate
Finding Aid (PDF)Representing what his relatives have thus far given to the Kinemathek in 2020, Huth’s estate contains film-related and private photographs, informative family papers, correspondence with renowned companions such as Gustaf Gründgens and Thomas Mann, and a nearly complete set of scripts that exist from his stage and film work.
Of particular importance is a collection of correspondence with the Austrian-Hungarian author Hans Habe, who was also highly active during his own emigration. These letters allow a revealing look at Huth’s personality and his working methods.
Other documentation also reveals itself to be exceptional both in scope and self-reflection: Huth’s notebook calendars and diaries, spanning from the late 1920s to mid-1950s, are daily reports in many cases, and extensive correspondence with his father exists from the years 1934?35 and 1946.
Some original documents and information compiled about Huth’s wife, the actress, stage author and journalist Friedel/Frances Huth, and about his father, the theatre actor Carl Huth, establish their own small personal collections within the estate. (Text: Gerrit Thies)
