biography

The Schauburg ("Schauspielhaus"), first place of activity of the Neutze brothers, postcard number "1101" by Karl F. Wunder

Günther Neutze, born in the southern part of Hanover, was the eldest son of a civil servant and the brother of Hanns Lothar (Neutze) and Horst Michael Neutze . Like his brothers, he attended the Luther School . While still at school he worked as an extra at the Schauburg Theater on Hildesheimer Strasse, which was later destroyed, and, like his brothers, found the theater in this way. He took acting lessons privately and had his first theater engagement in Aschaffenburg .

After his return from captivity in the Soviet Union , he received an engagement at the Landestheater Hannover in 1947 . Here he worked "as a highly esteemed character actor " in the Ballhof ensemble under Kurt Ehrhardt , who appreciated Neutzes "unusual comedic and intellectual versatility". In this ensemble he played with Bernhard Minetti , Rolf Boysen , Heinz Bennent , Elfriede Rückert , Hansjörg Felmy and his brother Hanns Lothar.

In 1951 and 1952 Günther Neutze was at the Braunschweig State Theater , after which he worked again in Hanover, but also in Bremen and at the Bad Hersfeld Festival . Otherwise he hardly played outside of Hanover - he turned down an offer from the Vienna Burgtheater in 1975. Neutze was also a fan of Hannover 96 all his life .

He and his two brothers only appeared in one film together, namely in the Jürgen Roland crime detective police station Davidswache (1964). Two years later the trio could be heard in the detective radio play Reiche Leichen sind die Beste by Harald Vock . Hanns Lothar and Neutze both starred in the television film Flight in Danger, based on the novel of the same name by bestselling author Arthur Hailey .

Günther Neutze is buried in the anonymous urn grave field at the Lahe city cemetery.

Neutze became popular from the late 1950s through his film and television roles. Jürgen Roland brought him to television so that he commuted between Hanover and Hamburg for his stage appearances and work in the television studio . After numerous small film roles, Neutze wrote television history in 1966 as Archibald Arrow in the German multi-part television series Die Gentlemen bitten to the cash register for the famous mail train robbery in England . From 1967 to 1973 he appeared alongside Karl Lieffen as Commissioner Bernard in Roland's crime series Dem Täter on the trail , in which both asked viewers to take a guess. Neutze also took on roles in other television crime novels.

Besides Neutze was "a brilliant speaker at the radio "; so he lent his voice " read to popular programs like Am Morgen ."

In 1983, the actor with heart disease retired into private life after collapsing on a theater tour in 1979. The husband left behind the children Michael (Mischa) and Brigitte. Neutze was buried in the anonymous urn grave field in the Lahe city cemetery in Hanover (section 136).
