Life

Eberhard Itzenplitz comes from an old, originally Brandenburg family , who moved to Saxony after he was born in the hospital on Hafendamm in Holzminden , where he grew up. His father Hans-Jürgen Itzenplitz was a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force, his mother Hildegard, nee. Langemeyer came from Holzminden. In Leipzig he attended the Königin-Carola-Gymnasium . He graduated from high school in Berlin and was then drafted. Towards the end of the war he was captured by the Soviets after his plane was shot down and the resulting jump near Magdeburg. After his return he studied German literature , art history and philosophy in Munich and Göttingen from 1948 to 1952 , where he worked as an assistant director to the director Heinz Hilpert during his studies ; at the same time he learned in the local film studio . In 1953 he received his doctorate in Göttingen to Dr. phil. with a dissertation on stage sets during Goethe's time .
