Biography

Gertrud Pfiel was born in what is now Croatia, the daughter of an engineer and inventor. A striking blonde with high cheekbones and expressive blue eyes, she was raised in Vienna, where she trained as a singer and dancer, beginning her theatrical career at age fifteen. Until 1944, Gertrud performed regularly at theatres in Berlin, Hamburg, and Vienna. During one performance, director Fritz Lang noticed her and was instantly captivated. Without requiring an audition, Lang cast her in the lead role of a defecting Russian spy in Spies (1928). The film's success led to consecutive leading roles in Woman in the Moon (1929) and Hochverrat (1929).

Lang eventually left his wife and longtime collaborator, screenwriter Thea von Harbou, while Gerda Maurus later married prolific director Robert A. Stemmle, who directed her in Daphne und der Diplomat (1937). In the sound era, Gerda occasionally had opportunities to showcase her talent, including roles alongside Hans Albers in Dope (1932) and Paul Hörbiger in Prinzessin Sissy (1938), but she was unable to replicate the success of her earlier silent films. Her tenuous association with Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels negatively affected her career immediately after the war. Though her acting ban was eventually lifted, she seldom appeared on screen afterward, continuing instead as a stage actress in Munich and Düsseldorf for several more years.
