Intelligent brunette German leading actress, on screen since childhood (1930) and in starring roles by 1939. At the peak of her popularity in the immediate post-war period, often in temperamental or impulsive roles or as worldly, self-possessed ladies with a sense of humour. Her prominent roles included such commercial hits as Unter den Brcken and Der Hauptmann von Kpenick . Schroth alternated film work with acting on stage in Berlin, Munich, Vienna and Hamburg. She was awarded the German Filmband in Gold in 1980. Also the dubbing voice for actresses Shirley MacLaine and Elizabeth Taylor.
For her stage work, she received the 1969 Groen Hersfeld-Preis, and for work as an actress she was awarded the Filmband in Gold in 1980.
She became well-known for a younger audience again at the beginning of the 70s when she impersonated the role of Mrs. Petrell in the successful Swedish serial "Emil i Lnneberga - Michel aus Lnneberga" .
Her second marriage was to the Austrian deep sea diver Hans Hass, which produced a son, Hans Hass Jr. (1946-2009) who became an actor and pop singer.
She first gained a foothold at the theater after the war and was successfully in Dsseldorf, Munich and Hamburg.
Unlike her father, Heinrich Schroth, who was by then appearing in Nazi propaganda films such as the notorious 1940 anti-Semitic Jud S, Hannelore avoided overtly political films, such as her appearance in 1945s romantic drama Unter den Brcken (English: Under the Bridges).
Until age sixteen she attended drama school in Lausanne, Switzerland.
In addition to theatre and appearing in German films as an actress, in the 1950s Schroth began a career as a voice actress, dubbing many English language films into German. Some of which include Jane Wymans character of Carolina Hill in Just for You (1952), Shirley MacLaine in Irma La Douce , Elizabeth Taylors role as Martha in Whos Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and Ingrid Bergmans role as Golda Meir in A Woman Called Golda.
To her early successes belong "Weisser Flieder" and "Kitty und die Weltkonferenz" - in which she impersonated her first leading role.
She was able to continue her career during wartime with "Friedrich Schiller" ,"Menschen im Sturm" , and Unter den Brcken" , but the theater became also more and more important in postwar years.
Schroth began her career as a child actress, and made her film debut at the age of nine in 1931s Max Ophls comedy Dann schon lieber Lebertran opposite her mother.
The actress Hannelore Schroth was born as the daughter of the actor Heinrich Schroth and the actress Kthe Haack. Her half brother Carl-Heinz Schroth became also a well-known actor. Therefore the way of the young Hannelore Schroth was early traced out. She already made her film debut at the age of nine with "Dann schon lieber Lebertran" , but it lasted eight years before she conquered the big screen in Germany.
Hannelore Schroth was among others married with the actor Carl Raddatz and the deep sea diver Hans Hass.
