- Like many other contemporaries after 1933 the Jew Eduard Rothauser did not have a future in Germany because of the National Socialists. He emigrated to Spain but was not able to continue there as an actor. Instead he worked for his own poultry farm.
- The actor Eduard Rothauser first finished in law and was working as a lawyer for some time.
- At the beginning of the 30s he could continue his film career in the new arising sound film before the political circumstances ended his career.
- Because he was already interested in acting at a young age and run a amateur theater group as a teenager, he took some acting lessons. Afterwards he accepted the offer of Max Reinhardt who engaged him at the "Deutsches Theater" in Berlin in 1910.
- In the 10s he became established as a demanded stage actor and he impersonated very different roles. His sister, the opera singer Therese Rothauser, chose an artistic career as well.
