Live and act

The son of the Frankfurt zoo director Kurt Priemel grew up, thanks to his father's profession, with all questions about nature. Gero Priemel attended secondary school and then studied biology at the universities of Frankfurt, Vienna and Munich up to a doctorate. He then worked as an advertising consultant until 1937 and was employed in the UFA's cultural film department from 1938 to 1945 . For his achievements shown there, Gero Priemel received the honorary award of the city of Munich in 1942. During the last years of the war, Dr. Priemel mainly as director of the main film department of the Reich Aviation Ministry.

After the war he continued his work for several small production companies, since 1950 he made the short films with his own company, EGP-Film. For a good decade, mostly in collaboration with his wife Erni Priemel-Brunner, Gero Priemel directed a wealth of short films, both of which often wrote the book. The content of the film was seldom devoted to natural topics, but mainly to areas such as urban development, technical progress and production problems in industry. What Gero Priemel did after 1962 is just as unknown as the exact date of his death.
