Life

Pillow stone Addi Münster and his wife, Ohlsdorf cemetery

Addi Münster was born as the fifth child of a Hamburg family of craftsmen. He first worked at a stevedoring company in the port of Hamburg . He was discovered in a cabaret in the Hamburg district of St. Pauli , when he was invited to the stage as a spectator by the artists to perform jokes and dontjes . Münster then toured Germany; Wroclaw, Leipzig and Berlin were some of his stops.

When he was waiting for his appearance in his Schauermannskluft at a guest performance in Mülheim an der Ruhr , the director of the guest performance company asked him to appear in these clothes, which eventually became Münster's trademark. As a soldier in World War II , he was taken prisoner by the British, and in 1946 he appeared on the stage of the Hamburg Hansa Theater for the first time . In the following decades, Münster was a guest at numerous events, in variety shows and at colorful evenings . In addition to appearances in the Hamburg Harbor Concert , he gained nationwide popularity, especially through his frequent participation in the Haifischbar television series , which ran from 1963 to 1979 on ARD . Münster also took part in smaller roles in the films Polizeirevier Davidswache and Heimweh nach St. Pauli . In the aftermath of Havelstrand versus Waterkant , in 1967 he was part of the advice team for Hans Rosenthal's quiz show Well asked is half won . Münster's voice is also recorded on a number of records, such as the Reeperbahnbummel LPs with Addi Münster or the mood on St. Pauli .

During a performance in Kiel in 1928, Addi Münster met his future wife Sonja, a ballet dancer, and performed with her as the “Münster Duo” until the beginning of the war. The couple had two daughters who were also in show business in the 1950s. Addi Münster was buried in Hamburg's Ohlsdorf cemetery at Chapel 9 and rests there next to his wife, who died in early January 1976.

Addi Münster should not be confused with the jazz trombonist Jost "Addi" Münster (* 1935).
