Life

Gerlind Ahnert was born in Chemnitz as the daughter of an art dealer couple. She was raised multilingual ( Russian , English ) and at the age of three she already belonged to the children's ballet of the Chemnitz Opera House . At the request of her parents, Ahnert first completed an apprenticeship as a chemical technician before she took acting lessons in Leipzig at the age of 17 .

During her studies, Gerlind Ahnert worked as a radio presenter in the Funk-Studio Dresden, where Heinz Adameck , the director of the DFF at the time , discovered her. She started her television career in 1958, initially as an announcer and presenter, and later as an actress for DEFA and DFF. She got her first leading role in the DEFA feature film Ehesache Lorenz in 1959 , followed by other film productions such as Reportage 57 (1959), Seilergasse 8 (1960) and Die Liebe und der Co-Pilot (1961).

The job as a program announcer brought a lot of privileges for Ahnert; in 1963 she was allowed to go on a two-month trip abroad to Egypt and in 1965 - at Fidel Castro's request - to travel to Cuba to establish the program announcement on Cuban television. Today she is considered to be the first program announcer in Cuba.

In 1983, after 25 years of television work, she took early retirement due to illness. At the end of the 1980s, she never returned from a trip to Hamburg, where her parents and eldest daughter were already living. Her third husband, camera assistant Detlev Hertelt, followed her a short time later. Since then, Ahnert has worked in Hamburg as an actress, voice actress and presenter of the ARD night concert on radio .

Her first marriage was with the screenwriter Wolfgang Böttner, her second marriage with the director Wolfgang Luderer and her third marriage with Detlev Hertelt.

Gerlind Ahnert died on September 12, 2007 in Rosenheim.
