Live and act

stage

Kückelmann spent her school days in Munich and was initially trained as a dancer. As a 12-year-old she was a ballet student at the Bavarian State Opera and played in Puss in Boots when she was 16 . She studied singing, began taking acting lessons and in 1949 received a long-term engagement at the Münchner Kammerspiele (where she played the barblin in the German premiere of Max Frisch's Andorra in 1962). Kückelmann was on the theater stage until the end of her life. She gave numerous guest performances throughout the German-speaking area. She appeared both in classic roles and in modern theater plays. Even after cancer surgery in 1978, she returned to the theater stage. However , she was unable to take up her last engagement at the Bern City Theater .

Movie

Kückelmann got her first small film role in the fairy tale film Hans im Glück in 1949. After her second film Rausch einer Nacht (1950), she was assigned the role of the “unstable girl” as a so-called “naive”. She could hardly break out of this categorization in the film business. She shot strips alongside Karlheinz Böhm and Ivan Desny . When the topic of artificial fertilization was taken up in Artur Brauner's Frucht ohne Liebe in 1956 and was not dealt with in the interests of the Christian churches, Kückelmann received decisive protests from these institutions.

Since there were no roles from West Germany, she made her last film in 1957 with the East German DEFA : Casino Affair . After that, her film career was finally over. Only in 1975 did she appear in a film by her brother Norbert Kückelmann , Fear is a second shadow , once again on the screen. However, she acted in several television productions, where she often played the part of the quirky maid.
