Friedrich Haase (1 November 1827 – 17 March
1911) was a prominent German actor and theatre director. He was born in Berlin,
the son of a valet to King Frederick William IV, who was his godfather.



Haase trained under Ludwig Tieck and made his first appearance in 1846 in
Weimar. He later performed in Prague (1849–1851), under Eduard Devrient in
Karlsruhe (1852–1855), and Saint Petersburg (1860–1866). He also toured the
United States.

He was manager of the court theatre in Coburg, and was manager of the
Stadttheater in Leipzig (today Oper Leipzig, from 1870 to 1876. After returning
to Berlin, Haase founded the Deutsches Theater. He was awarded the prestigious
Iffland-Ring in 1878 by Theodor Döring and much the legend of the ring's origin
goes back to Haase.



Haase retired from the stage in 1898. The street Haase Straße in Berlin-Friedrichshain
is named after him.
