After graduating, Borchert pursued a degree in acting at the Reicherschen Hochschule für dramatische Kunst (Reicherschen School for dramatic arts) from 1926-1927.

For his talent in acting, Borchert became a Staatsschauspieler (Actor of the state) and a Honorary member of the State Theater of Berlin in 1973. He was also a member of the Akademie der Künste Berlin until 1976.[1] Borchert equally impressed the public and critics in classic hero roles. He was the first to play Woyzeck after the war.

gollark: The situation is also slightly worse than *that*. Now, there is an open source Play Services reimplementation called microG. You can install this if you're running a custom system image, and it pretends to be (via signature spoofing, a feature which the LineageOS team refuse to add because of entirely false "security" concerns, but which is widely available in some custom ROMs anyway) Google Play Services. Cool and good™, yes? But no, not really. Because if your bootloader is unlocked, a bunch of apps won't work for *other* stupid reasons!
gollark: If you do remove it, half your apps will break, because guess what, they depend on Google Play Services for some arbitrary feature.
gollark: It's also a several hundred megabyte blob with, if I remember right, *every permission*, running constantly with network access (for push notifications). You can't remove it without reflashing/root access, because it's part of the system image on most devices.
gollark: It is also worse than *that*. The core bits of Android, i.e. Linux, the basic Android frameworks, and a few built-in apps are open source. However, over time Google has moved increasing amounts of functionality into "Google Play Services". Unsurprisingly, this is *not* open source.
gollark: Which also often contain security changes and won't make their way to lots of devices... ever! Fun!
