life and work

Childhood and youth

The daughter of the timber merchant Joseph Schygulla and his wife Antonie, b. Mzyk, came to Munich in 1945 with her mother, who had to flee from Upper Silesia ; the father returned from captivity in 1948 . After graduating from the Luisengymnasium in Munich and a year as an au pair in Paris, she studied German and Romance languages in Munich from 1964 and at the same time took acting lessons at the Fridl-Leonhard-Studio.

The Fassbinder era

Rainer Werner Fassbinder , who knew her from drama school, brought her to the action theater in September 1967. She played there and especially in the subsequent anti-theater in numerous productions. After a few smaller film roles, she was used by Fassbinder in April 1969 in his film Love is Colder than Death . From then on, until 1972, Schygulla played in all Fassbinder films and many of his plays, with one exception, and with him shaped the so-called author's film .

In 1974 the close cooperation with Fassbinder ended after a conflict. However, the two continued to work together extremely successfully until Fassbinder's death in 1982. In Germany Schygulla was founded in 1980 in the role of "Eva" in the TV adaptation of Berlin Alexanderplatz by Alfred Doblin a wide audience known as the film controversial and was partially condemned as morally reprehensible. In 1981 Schygulla's portrayal of Lale Andersen in Fassbinder's last film Lili Marleen , the culmination of their artistic collaboration, received international recognition.

International career

From then on she played in numerous films by other directors (including Wim Wenders and Swiss Gaudenz Meili ). In addition, she went on theater tours and took on roles in classic theater plays such as Rose Bernd .

In 1978, the post-war melodrama The Marriage of Maria Braun came back to work with Fassbinder. In 1979 she received the Silver Bear for best female lead in this film. Freed from the shadow of the director, she was now considered a world-class actress, received international offers and appeared in French, Italian and US films. She shot Eine Liebe in Deutschland with the Polish director Andrzej Wajda and starred in well-known productions by renowned European directors ( Margarethe von Trotta ) and directors, a. a. Volker Schlöndorff , Ettore Scola , Jean-Luc Godard and Carlos Saura as well as Marco Ferreri , under whose direction she won the actor's award for The Story of Piera .

In Hollywood, she took on the role of Catherine the Great in the television miniseries Peter the Great directed by Marvin J. Chomsky and starred in the comedy Forever Lulu by Amos Kollek .

In 2002 she participated in the VB51 project by the artist Vanessa Beecroft . In recent years she has mainly worked with the younger generation of film directors, such as Till Franzen in The Blue Frontier (2005), Hans Steinbichler in Winterreise (2006) and with Fatih Akın in On the Other Side (2007). For the latter film, she was nominated for the German Film Award in 2008 as best supporting actress and she was the first German actress to win the National Society of Film Critics Award in the same category .

Singer and author

She has also been known as a chanson singer since the 1990s . Among other things, she toured Europe with a Brecht evening in which she sang and recited in Spanish. Her concert tours also took her to Poland, the former Soviet Union, Italy and Spain, and South America.

In autumn 2013 Hanna Schygulla published her autobiography Wach auf und Träume (Wake up and dream) in Schirmer / Mosel Verlag . In February 2014, she presented her installation Traumprotlogs at the Berlin Academy of the Arts , which she has staged and produced since 1978 and presented short video films that had previously been shown in Paris and New York .

Private and political

Schygulla lived at her main residence in Paris from 1981 to 2014. She had a longstanding relationship with the French screenwriter Jean-Claude Carrière until 1995 , with whom she lived. Since the early 1990s she has been commuting between France and Bavaria for two decades to ensure that her sick parents are cared for. She stated that this was also the reason why she largely “stepped out of the spotlight”. In 1991 she met the actress Alicia Bustamante on a trip to Cuba, with whom she later worked and lived. In 2011 she found a “second home” in a shared apartment with two flatmates who were around 30 years younger in Berlin-Charlottenburg . In 2014 Schygulla finally moved her permanent residence from Paris to Berlin.

In 2003 Schygulla was one of the founding members of the German Film Academy .

Together with other filmmakers, Schygulla handed EU leaders signatures for the For a Thousand Lives: Be Human initiative on October 20, 2015 , an appeal against populism and silence. She remembered her existence as a refugee child and called for people to be treated humanely, to give them a chance.
