Life

The trained postal worker came to acting on soldiers' stages during the Second World War . After the end of the war he was an announcer for an artist group and from 1946 a cabaret artist in Hanover . From 1948 he appeared in Hamburg and was briefly with the Foreign Legion .

Baas wrote plays and worked as a radio writer. He published his articles in several magazines and the newspaper Die Welt . In 1962, Baas published his autobiography 40 , which received great attention from readers and literary critics. The volume of poetry Es ist Frühling, Ilse and the novel Der Fritz followed shortly afterwards .

Baas made his film debut in the role of listening specialist in Helmut Käutner's Des Teufels General in 1954 . As an East Prussian grenadier, he uttered the legendary sentence “I can't stand Dat!” In the film Der Hauptmann von Köpenick . His best-known German-language role is probably that of the teacher Blaumeier in the movie series Die Lümmel von der Erste Bank from 1968 to 1972. Baas achieved international fame especially in 1978 through his leading role in Federico Fellini's Prova d'Orchestra ( The Orchestra Rehearsal ), for which the director himself selected him. He also played the sleazy private detective Georg Altdorf in the ZDF series Das Erbe der Guldenburgs from 1987 to 1990 .

From 1971 to 1977 he appeared on the radio on WDR 2 with satirical cabaret texts in the solo revue Be naughty to one another (over 20 episodes). After the WDR banned the broadcast of an episode because of too harsh Wolf-Biermann criticism and the program had alternatively designed with other Baas material, Baas broke off further cooperation with the WDR.

Balduin Baas was married to her colleague Ruth Stephan and then had a relationship with the Hamburg photographer Charlotte March for over 30 years .

His estate as well as his art objects and drawings are in the Falckenberg Collection in Hamburg.
