Franz Xaver Kroetz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Franz Xaver Kroetz (* 25. February 1946 in Munich ) is a German director , writer , playwright and actor .

Life

Franz Xaver Kroetz attended a drama school in Munich and the Max Reinhardt Seminar in Vienna , worked as a casual worker, driver and carer. He was active in the DKP from 1972 to 1980 , for which he stood on the Bavarian state list in the federal elections in 1972 and 1976 .

Kroetz hit the headlines when the premiere of his plays Heimarbeit und Hartnäckig in Munich in 1971 was disrupted by neo-Nazis. His dramas from the 1970s portray people who are speechless and fail because of their social misery. In the play Das Nest , he lets the protagonist, a truck driver, become active: He reports himself and his boss because he dumped toxic waste into a lake at his behest - he “pollutes” his “nest” (the company ) because it has polluted its actual "nest" (the environment).

In his role as the gossip reporter Baby Schimmerlos in the television series Kir Royal , Kroetz became known to a larger audience since 1986. He also works as a correspondent for the Bild newspaper. Kroetz is a member of the PEN Center Germany .

From his relationship with Uta Emmer , Kroetz had a son in 1975. From 1992 to 2006 he was married to the actress Marie Theres Kroetz-Relin , with whom he has three children, including the actress Josephine Kroetz (* 1988). Kroetz lives in Munich-Obermenzing and Tenerife.
