Important Personalities, Edition 1980 The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the German Democratic Republic issues six special postage stamps with pictures of important personalities. No special first-day cover envelope Special cancellation from February 26 to April 25, 1980 70-pfennig value: Helene Weigel (May 12, 1900 to May 6, 1971) Helene Weigel, born in Vienna, was born in Frankfurt / Main in 1922 with a hopeful Acting career committed to the Prussian State Theater in Berlin. In 1933 she emigrated with her husband Bertolt Brecht and her two children. In the 15-year exile, "more often than the shoes changing countries" came to Helene Weigel almost no job opportunities. At the end of 1948 she returned from emigration. The Berliner Ensemble, founded in 1949, acquired world fame in just a few years under the direction of Helene Weigel and the artistic director Bertolt Brecht. Even Brecht's death (1956) Helene Weigel successfully continued the new era of theater work with the support of Brecht's staff and students. On numerous foreign tours throughout Europe, Helene Weigel has achieved great successes with her ensemble. The Weigel entered the theater history as a "newbie" of our time. Helene Weigel's performance as a great realistic actress, especially of Brechtian drama, is significant epochal. For example, the title roles in "Mother Courage" and in the play "The Mother". Closely linked to her work as director and actress is the cultivation of the artistic legacy of Bertolt Brecht. Helene Weigel was one of the founding members of the Academy of the Arts, was appointed professor in 1960 and has repeatedly received the National Prize and other high state awards. Helene Weigel has, beyond her immediate activities as an actress and artistic director, been active in numerous national and international organizations, such as: For example, the World Peace Council is consistently committed to a world in which "man is a helper to man."
