His father intended him to be a clergyman, but Iffland preferred the stage, and at eighteen ran away to Gotha in order to prepare himself for a theatrical career.
He received instruction from Hans Ekhof, and made such rapid progress that he was able to accept an engagement at the theater in Mannheim in 1779, beginning his rise into prominence. He soon stood high in his profession, and enhanced his reputation by frequently playing in other towns. In 1796 he settled in Berlin, where he became director of the national theater of Prussia, and in 1811 he was made general director of all presentations before royalty.
Iffland produced the classical works of Goethe and Schiller with conscientious care, but he had little understanding for the drama of the romantic writers.
As an actor, he was conspicuous for his comedy parts: fine gentlemen, polished men of the world, and distinguished princes. Iffland died in Berlin on 22 September 1814.
He is buried in the Jerusalemsund Neue Kirche Friedhof II (Cemetery Number II of the Jerusalem"s Church and New Church) in Berlin-Kreuzberg. A bronze portrait statue of him was erected in front of the Mannheim theater in 1864.
A street in Berlin is named after him.
The Iffland-Ring bears Iffland"s likeness, and is borne by the most important German-speaking actor, as decided by his predecessor.
