So WAR das LUXUSLEBEN von MARIANNE HOPPE — Niemand Wusste Warum

For seventy years, she didn't answer this question. Why she married Gustaf Gründgens in 1936—the Reich's most famous theater director, whom everyone knew, whom everyone admired, and whose homosexuality was common knowledge in Berlin—Marianne Hoppe never explained. Not in interviews. Not in memoirs. Not at the end of her life, when there would have been no consequences. Yet she had everything that would have made an explanation unnecessary. Aristocratic background. Training under Max Reinhardt. Film contracts with UFA before she was thirty. A massive audience. Hermann Göring in the front row. Her face on posters across the country. And then this marriage. This one decision she never spoke about. It was whispered that the marriage was only entered into to protect him from persecution. No one ever proved it. No one ever disproved it. Marianne Hoppe lived to be 93 and took the answer with her. OK! Magazine This is the real story. ▶ Subscribe to the channel — for the women who knew more than they ever said.
