Caspar Neher

October 19, 2023

Caspar Neher (born Rudolf Ludwig Caspar Neher; 11 April 1897 – 30 June 1962) was an Austrian-German scenographer and librettist, known principally for his career-long working relationship with Bertolt Brecht.

Neher was born in Augsburg. He and Brecht were school friends who were separated for a time by the First World War, during which Neher was awarded the Iron Cross, Second Class (on 2 February 1918). In 1919, he studied under Angelo Jank at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich.[1] He was first engaged professionally by the Munich Kammerspiele in 1922, although his designs for its production of Brecht's Drums in the Night were rejected.[2] On 18 August 1923, Neher married Erika Tornquist in Graz.[2] Their son, Georg, was born on 14 October 1924.[3] In autumn of 1926, Neher became the staff designer at the Berlin Staatstheater.[3] A year later, he became head of design at the Grillo-Theater in Essen, Germany, where he designed 8 operas and 11 plays.[3] He died in Vienna.
