Wilhelm Ringelband was a German theater critic and founder of the Gertrud-Eysoldt-Ring.
Ringelband was born in Frankfurt. At the age of 16 Ringelband had his first contact with the theater. He saw Strindbergs "Totentanz" with Paul Wegener discovering his passion for the stage which should never leave him. His first article was a portrait of the German-Dutch actress Adele Sandrock, which appeared on the tenth anniversary of her death. Many theater-, opera- and filmreviews followed. The Max-Reinhard-actress Gertrud Eysoldt (Memorial# 40827537) was very important to Ringelband and a close adviser to him. They never met, but they exchanged letters frequently until her death in 1955.
In honour of the Eysoldt, Wilhelm Ringelband's last will set out an award of 10.000 Euro together with the so called Gertrud-Eysoldt-Ring. This prize is given away in a ceremony every year – since 1986 – by the township of Bensheim together with the "Deutsche Akademie der Darstellenden Künste". It honours actors of outstanding performance, e.g. Edith Clever (1988), Ulrich Mühe (1991), Jürgen Holtz (1993), Ulrich Matthes (2004), and in 2008 Klaus Maria Brandauer.
