Heinrich Beck (actor)

Heinrich Christian Beck (19 February 1760, in Gotha – 7 May 1803, in Mannheim) was a German actor and playwright.

The National Theater was then blossoming artistically under the leadership of Wolfgang Heribert von Dalberg.

While there, Beck took part in the premieres of Schiller's first plays Die Räuber (as Kosinsky) and Fiesco (as Bourgognino).

His dramatic work appeared under the title "Theater" in three volumes in Frankfurt, beginning in 1802.

Friedrich Schiller, who had envisioned her to portray his Luise in Kabale und Liebe, displayed a particular fondness for her.
