biography

Ekkehard Böhmer studied music (piano and composition with Werner Fussan, a student of Paul Hindemith ) and acting; his actual career aspiration was an opera singer (his father was the opera singer Ewald Böhmer). After completing his studies, he got an engagement at the Wiesbaden State Theater in 1948 . There he met the director Fritz Umgelter . This brought him in 1954 as an assistant director to the Hessischer Rundfunk . From that day on, Ekkehard Böhmer got to know the television business with all its facets. Fritz Umgelter was an "old school" trainer who successfully taught him the new medium of television.

With Hans-Joachim Kulenkampff and his quiz Who against Whom? Ekkehard Böhmer started his career as a television director on September 3, 1955. Since then, his name has stood for great television hits and high ratings. In 1979 there were even television evenings when Böhmer competed against himself when he was staging something for the ARD Something is coming up and on ZDF Now the party really starts . On December 31, 1988, Ekkehard Böhmer directed his 1,000th show Arena der Sensationen . The successes of the Peter Alexander Show (book: Hans Hubberten , producer: Wolfgang Rademann ) are closely linked to his directing successes on German television . In 1999 Böhmer ended his career after 45 years. He died on April 14, 2014 after a brief illness at the age of 84.
