Rolf Moebius wurde am 27. Juli 1915 im sächsischen Riesa als Sohn eines Brückenbauers geboren und wuchs in einem künstlerisch geprägten Elternhaus auf, seine Mutter – sie starb, da war Sohn Rolf erst 15 Jahre alt – war Pianistin, sein Großvater Kammermusiker. Schon früh entdeckte Moebius seine Liebe zur Schauspielerei, als er 15-Jährig bei einer Schulaufführung die Inszenierung bzw. die Hauptrolle für die Bilderzenen "Totentanz" von Gottfried Haaß-Berkow (1888 – 1957) übernahm. Ein Jahr später verließ er die Schule, sammelte erste professionelle Bühnenerfahrungen als Statist am Dresdner Stadttheater, entschloss sich dann endgültig für den Beruf des Schauspielers. Er erhielt ein Stipendium an der "Staatlichen Schauspielschule" in Berlin, 1937 machte er dort seinen Abschluss.

Bereits 1936 hatte er mit einer kleinen Rolle in Carl Froehlichs Drama "

Traumulus"1) neben Emil Jannings und Hilde Weissner erste Erfahrungen vor der Kamera gesammelt, auch auf der Bühne konnte er sich im gleichen Jahr in dem von Gustaf Gründgens inszenierten "Faust II" beweisen, als Hans Quest, der die Rolle des Euphorion übernehmen sollte, plötzlich wegen Krankheit ausgefallen war und Gründgens in der Schauspielschule einen Ersatz suchte – Moebius erhielt den Part.

No Greater Love
Title: No Greater Love
Released: February 29, 1952
Type: Movie
Directed by Harald Braun and told from the perspective of Bertha von Suttner, the first female to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, The Alfred Nobel Story - No Greater Love chronicles the life of scientist, inventor, and businessman Alfred Nobel. Nobel built a massive fortune throughout his life, and while much if it was amassed by his inventions--dynamite being perhaps the most notable--he was also revered for his discoveries within the fields of science and economics. Upon his death, Nobel decided that his fortune was simply too great to continue in the form of an inheritance or single charitable donation, opting instead to use the money as reward for the greatest contributors to physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and, of course, peace.

Germany, 1914: The bourgeois austerity of the small, northern German town in which Ulyssa lives conflicts sharply with her desire to flirt with and be ensnared by charming, young men. That she's married is irrelevant; it's a marriage which exists only on paper. Among all the men Ulyssa flirts with, there is one for which she has genuine affection: Stefen Marbach, an upright and sincere man, far superior to her other men. And, indeed, the two are honest with one another about their feelings, but the outbreak of the First World War separates them. Sometime later, Ulyssa finds out that not only her husband, but Stefan, too, has fallen in battle. The news of this disaster leads her to reconsider and eventually give in to the constant urgings of the Viennese merchant Reindl. Ulyssa joins Reindl in Vienna and lives a life of wealth and comfort, until one day, Stefan shows up.

Traumulus
Title: Traumulus
Character: Bit part
Released: January 23, 1936
Type: Movie
This film is a fascinating showcase for Emil Janning's theatrical play. He's a gentle school teacher who believes in his boys and is easily fooled about all things, while the other town officials want him dismissed. Curiously it's very hard to see what the film is exactly aiming for. Disaster strikes and the lax prof proves to be too far removed of the real problems of the world, on the other hand his enemies are shown in the most unsympathetic, satirical way denouncing the militaristic, bourgeois ideology of the Kaiserreich.
