Trivia

Erich Weiher was a German actor and radio play narrator.

In 1937, Erich Weiher joined the Thalia Theater, where he remained for over 35 years until his death.

Between 1945 and 1972, he appeared in over 150 productions, mainly for NWDR and later NDR, as a radio play narrator, including radio adaptations of Carl Zuckmayer's Der Hauptmann von Köpenick (The Captain of Köpenick), Der Biberpelz, Bezauberndes Fräulein by Ralph Benatzky, Galileo Galilei by Bertolt Brecht, and L'Avare by Molière.

After studying under Gustav Höppner, Erich Weiher made his acting debut in 1912 at the Sommertheater Moabit in Berlin. Further stages in his career included theaters in Beuthen, Essen, Graudenz, Nordhausen, and Saarbrücken, before he moved to Hamburg in 1931.

Erich Weiher died of heart failure at the age of 78, just a few days after appearing on stage in Ibsen's An Enemy of the People at the Thalia Theater.
