Christiane Schröder
Christiane Schröder (born January 18, 1942 in Berlin , † September 17, 1980 in San Francisco ) was a German actress.
Life
Christiane Schröder was the second child of the actor couple Ernst Schröder and Inge Thiesfeld (* 1909, † after 1945), who also both committed suicide . Her older brother is the cameraman, director and actor Sebastian C. Schröder (* 1939).
She made her debut in Berlin in 1961, where she appeared at the Schillertheater alongside her overpowering father , and from 1963 belonged to Peter Zadek's ensemble at the Bremen Theater . Then she played at the Landestheater in Hanover. In the late 1960s she went to the Münchner Kammerspiele and worked under the direction of Fritz Kortner and August Everding . In 1970 she played Ophelia alongside Oskar Werner in his production of Hamlet at the Salzburg Festival . In 1972 she was Gretchen im Urfaust in the Schiller Theater workshop in Berlin , and in 1973 she was Juliet at the Munich Residenztheater alongside Klaus Maria Brandauer's Romeo . In the same year she made her debut as a theater director at the Dramatic Workshops in Salzburg.
Schröder played in numerous TV programs, such as Der Kommissar and Derrick, and was involved in well-known literary adaptations, such as Gerhart Hauptmann's Der Biberpelz and Heinrich von Kleist's Der zerbrochne Krug . she also worked as a radio play speaker. In 1968 she spoke leading roles in the radio plays Chain Reaction and The Serviette .
In 1973, her twelve-year relationship with the Berlin film and television studio owner Werner Wollek, who was around 20 years her senior, broke up . Christiane Schröder temporarily moved to the USA to see a doctor whom she only knew from his fan letters to her. This relationship ended after 3 months.
After her return to Germany, she began rehearsals for a theater tour with Minna von Barnhelm under the direction of Boleslaw Barlog , but broke it off after two weeks and said goodbye to the acting profession. She sold her apartments in Berlin and Munich to travel to the States again.
There she met the Latvian artist Peter Vismanis (1923–2000), who had emigrated to the USA in the 1950s. After her visa expired , the two married in March 1978 to give her a green card . Vismanis introduced her to the salvation teachings of the Indian Jiddu Krishnamurti . Christiane Schröder spent a few months with a friend and the Indian's books on a farm in Natternbach , Austria , then moved with Vismanis into a small wooden house in San Francisco and began to paint.
After a lack of success, she slowly developed a severe depression , kept cutting herself and disappearing from home more often, most recently in September 1980. Vismanis only reported her missing after a while.
On September 17, 1980, she was watched by the bridge guard of the Golden Gate Bridge as she jumped into San Francisco Bay . Since she had no papers with her, she was initially given the number 721 in the bridge's suicide book and was only identified by her husband in January 1981. Her ashes were still in a funeral home for years after her death because no one came to pick them up.
