biography

The merchant's son attended a high school and a commercial college in Bremen. After taking acting lessons with Hermann Schultze-Griesheim, he made his debut in 1933 at a Bremen theater. In 1935 he worked at the Stadttheater Gießen , 1938 at the Deutsches Theater in Berlin, from 1939 in Koblenz and finally at the Staatstheater Wiesbaden until the end of the war . At times Frickhöffer was obliged to fight in the war and appeared in front theaters in France, Luxembourg and Belgium.

After his release from captivity , he worked at the Baden-Baden Theater in 1946/1947 , and in 1947 he received an engagement at the Metropol Theater in Berlin. Later he also acted on other theaters in Berlin as well as in Munich, Frankfurt am Main and other cities.

Since 1947 Frickhöffer was a busy supporting actor in German film. The "long Lulatsch" often brought a pinch of humor into play in his appearances as a blasé civil servant, porter, police officer, waiter, womanizer or crook. He also worked for radio ( RIAS ) and as a voice actor and was married to the actress Irene Korb (1923–1978).
