Angela Winkler
Angela Winkler (born January 22, 1944 in Templin ) is a German theater and film actress who became known, among other things, for her appearances in New German Film . For her title role in The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum , she received the gold tape in 1976 .
Life
Angela Winkler grew up in Templin and Erlangen , where she attended high school from 1954 to 1962. At seventeen she dropped out of school to become an actress. First, she completed an apprenticeship as a medical-technical assistant in Stuttgart . In 1964 she began studying acting at the Stuttgart University of Music and Performing Arts , which ended after only two months. On the mediation of her fellow students, she came to Munich and took acting lessons from Ernst Fritz Fürbringer and Hanna Burgwitz .
In 1967 Angela Winkler received her first theater engagement in Kassel, after which she played in Castrop-Rauxel . After Winkler had already worked in television films, she made her film debut in 1969 as the maid Hannelore in Peter Fleischmann's hunting scenes from Lower Bavaria . It was through this film that Peter Stein discovered her for his Berlin Schaubühne , where Angela Winkler played from 1971 to 1978. Her next film, The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum by Volker Schlöndorff, based on the story of the same name by Heinrich Böll , made her a star among critics and audiences in 1975. Angela Winkler received the German Critics' Prize in 1975 for her portrayal of Katharina Blum and was awarded the Gold Filmband in 1976. In 1979 she played the mother of Oskar Matzerath in Schlöndorff's Oscar-winning film adaptation The Tin Drum of Günter Grass' novel of the same name and became internationally known.
In the meantime, Angela Winkler concentrated primarily on her theater work and rarely appeared on the screen or on television. Among other things, she worked with Peter Zadek , who cast her in 1999 as Hamlet and in 2004 as the mother of Peer Gynt at the Berliner Ensemble . In the 2010s, however, she intensified her cinema work again, including appearances in Tom Tykwer's comedy Three (2010), Matti Geschonneck's literary film In times of waning light (2017) and Luca Guadagnino's remake (2018) of the horror classic Suspiria . Winkler has been in front of the camera for several crime series on television in recent years and played the role of grandmother Ines Kahnwald in the first German Netflix series Dark (2017) .
In 2008, Winkler gave a speech in front of the German Bundestag on behalf of Lenka Reinerová on the occasion of the commemoration day for the Victims of National Socialism .
In 2011 she released her debut album Ich liebe dich, I can't say , on which she interprets chansons by Barbara and Édith Piaf and songs by Sophie Hunger and Element of Crime . As early as 2010, Winkler was with Max Raabe , Thomas Quasthoff and Udo Samel with the folk song program The thoughts have appeared freely .

Their daughter Nele was born with Down syndrome ; she followed in the footsteps of her celebrity mother and regularly appears on stage at the RambaZamba theater in Berlin .
