Detlof Kruger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Detlof Krüger (born May 2, 1915 in Rostock ; † September 2, 1996 in Karlsruhe ) was a German actor , director and general manager .

Life

Krüger had attended the humanistic high school in his hometown Rostock and had taken acting lessons from Lindler-Orban and Johannes Lehmann. The latter then brought him in his role as a director at the Rostock City Theater to the same stage, where Krüger made his debut in 1935. Until 1944 further engagements followed in Hildesheim , Schleswig , Schwerin ( State Theater ) and Leipzig ( Altes Theater ).

Krüger spent the first post-war years in northern Germany and worked at small venues in Hamburg (“Die Auslese”, “Junge Bühne”) and Lüneburg . There he was allowed to direct for the first time. In 1949 Krüger was appointed senior director to Oberhausen , but only stayed there for one season. During this time he staged, among other things, Ostrowski's Wolves and Sheep and Miller's Death of a Salesman . From 1950 to 1953 he worked as a radio play director at the NWDR in Hamburg, but then returned to the theater and tied himself for many years to the Wiesbaden State Theater , where he was most recently acting director and artistic director. The pieces he staged there include Maria Stuart , Die gnadete Angst and Where we were happy .

In those years, with the beginning of the television age in the Federal Republic, Krüger also began to direct for this medium. Most of these were adaptations of well-known plays such as Der zerbrochne Krug and An idealer Gatte . From the beginning of the 1960s, Krüger also appeared regularly in television games. He was given preference for dignitaries. Krüger played doctors, officers, high-ranking officials and, in Bishop Ketteler, even the state founder and Chancellor Otto von Bismarck .

Despite intensive television presence, Krüger remained connected to the stage. From 1966 to 1973 he was director of the Ulm Theater . In his later working years, Krüger no longer tied himself firmly to a stage and also accepted offers for guest performances (for example to Basel ). Most recently he lived in Karlsruhe with his wife, the lawyer Gerda Krüger-Nieland .
