Einar Zangenberg was stage-trained in Copenhagen but soon found steady
and fun-filled employment in silent films from 1908. He was known as a
dare-devil in early Danish silent cinema. As a swimmer, motorist and
even airman he dazzled the audience. Never one to settle down he worked
as an actor, director and writer in Denmark, Sweden and finally
Germany, where he took residence in 1914. His films in Germany and
Austria are lost and forgotten today but in his heyday, he made quite a
few action/adventure films that thrilled the movie-going public. In
Germany he was associated with Flora-Film. He was married to actress
Alfi Zangenberg when he died in Vienna, Austria from the dreaded
Spanish Influenza - aged 35.
