from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alwin Michael Rueffer , also led by Michael Alwin Rueffer , Michael A. Rueffer and AM Rueffer (born December 31, 1916 in Gießen , † May 23, 1986 in Langen or Rödermark ), was a German actor , radio play speaker and writer .

Live and act

Rueffer attended the Hochschule für Theater in Frankfurt am Main in 1939/40, but was not able to get a permanent engagement until 1945 due to the war, although it was listed in the registers of the stage yearbooks from 1942. Rueffer made his theatrical debut in 1948 with Gaston in Jean Anouilh's The Traveler Without Luggage at the Karlsruhe Kammerspiele. From 1949 to 1952, Rueffer worked at the city theater of Pforzheim, then, after a guest performance in Munich, went to the stages of the state capital Kiel for two years in 1952. In 1954 he accepted a call to the Darmstädter Landestheater, where he stayed for four years. In 1959 there was another stage change, this time to the municipal theaters of Frankfurt.

At this time Alwin Michael Rueffer had already made his film debut in television (1956) and in 1958 in the cinema with a public prosecutor's role. His later activities in front of the camera are limited to participation in television games. However, there he only received batch roles. In later years he was mostly appointed as a dignitary, such as the District Court Counselor Brack in an adaptation by Hedda Gabler or the Professor Hahnemann in Auguste Bolte. With the small part of Dr. Long neck in the serial, ambitious remake Die Buddenbrooks by Franz Peter Wirth , Alwin Michael Rueffer ended his television activity in 1979,

Between 1952 and 1980 he was used as a speaker in a large number of radio plays , for example in 1968 in the last Durbridge multi-part series about the London private investigator Paul Temple , namely in Paul Temple and the Alex case (directed by Otto Düben ). The ARD radio play database has more than 200 entries with Rueffer as the speaker.

He worked as a radio play editor and director in the 1969 SWF production Das Alsfeld Christmas Game .

Alwin Michael Rueffer appeared in later years as a director of record productions and as a writer after a stroke that resulted in severe speech impairment. In his autobiographical book, Herr, Ich kann ich Schweigen , he addresses his stroke of fate. He had previously published an arrangement for marionettes of the Alsfeld Passion and - together with Rudolf Hagelstange - one of the Alsfeld Christmases from 1517.
