Schubert was born in Berlin, the son of a master tailor. He went to drama school after his release from captivity as a prisoner of war. In 1951, Bertholt Brecht asked for him directly to join his Berliner Ensemble, where Schubert remained until the Berlin Wall was erected in 1961. From then on, Schubert worked in West Germany in theatre (in Munich, Hamburg, Stuttgart and Berlin) and taught drama; he was awarded a professorship. In 1958 Schubert also started to work in film, first for DEFA productions, playing the role of the Schweizerkas that he had been known for in the Berliner Ensemble in the film version of the Brecht drama. He also acted in fairy stories and the much-loved DEFA Das Stacheltier series. From 1961, in the West, he also acted in television productions. In 1973 Schubert was given a part which made him incredibly popular with the public, associating him with an image which he later did his best to escape from: the role of Ekel Alfred ("Foul Alfred") LESS
