'''Ernst Pittschau''' (5 October 1883 – 2 June 1951) was a German [[stage actor|stage]] and [[film actor]].
==Biography==
Pittschau, whose father's name was also named Ernst Pittschau, a stage actor, received an education in business and had a brief career selling dental products. However, he then chose his father's profession and had his first theatrical engagement at the end of 1905 in [[Koblenz]].
In 1910, he appeared in [[New York City]], and in 1911, he was a stage actor in [[Berlin]]. A year later, he took roles in the still undervalued [[Film industry|cinema]]. Pittschau personified elegant lovers and was a partner of [[Hanni
In the 20s, his film roles became smaller; after that, he barely received work. He now mostly played at the [[Theater am Kurfürstendamm]], at the [[Komödie]] and at the [[Tribüne]]. In the 1940s, he lived in poverty and had to rely on the support of the [[Goebbels]]-supported foundation for people who worked in the arts, "Künstlerdank."
After [[World War II]], the Italian director [[Roberto Rossellini]] brought the almost forgotten actor in front of the camera again. In the survival drama ''[[Germany, Year Zero]]'' (1948), he played the bedridden father.
His half-brother was the stage and film actor [[Werner Pittschau]] (1902-1928) who died in a car crash.
