Hannelore Hoger's father Leo Hoger was an actor and stage manager at the Ohnsorg Theater , her mother worked at home as a tailor. Hoger has two sisters and one brother. At the age of 14 she got her first major role in her father's theater, and a year later she had made up her mind to become an actress. However, in an interview, Hoger described a frequently mentioned first stage appearance at the age of five as a "rumor".

In 1958 she began her acting training at the Hamburg University of Music and Theater . Since 1961 she has performed in Ulm , Bremen , Stuttgart , Cologne and Berlin and from 1981 to 1985 in Hamburg. There her collaboration with Augusto Fernandes was a formative experience. To improve her skills, she took lessons from Lee Strasberg several times . She became particularly well-known for her work under artistic director Kurt Hübner at the Ulm Theater and the Bremen Theater on Goetheplatz . Her collaboration with the director Peter Zadek deserves special mention . With him she went to the Schauspielhaus Bochum in 1972 . In 1965 she had her first appearance on television, in 1968 in the cinema.

She worked a lot with the director and producer Alexander Kluge , whose experimental film aesthetics were influenced by the writings of the Frankfurt School , for example in Die Artisten in der Zirkuskuppel: helpless (1968), Der große Verhau (1970), Willi Tobler and der Sinking of the 6th Fleet (1972), Germany in Autumn (1977), The Patriot (1979) and The Power of Emotions (1983).

Hannelore Hoger became known to a large public especially in the role of Commissioner Bella Block in the ZDF crime series of the same name. The 38 episodes of the series were filmed and broadcast at irregular intervals from 1993 to 2018 in order to consciously break away from the “weekly production”. She also played in various movies, for example in Helmut Dietl's Rossini . There she showed her comedic talent as a gossip reporter Charlotte, among others at the side of Götz George and Mario Adorf .

Theater direction

Since the 1980s, Hoger has also staged plays such as Kroetz's Stallerhof at the Schauspielhaus Bochum , Friedrich Hebbel's Maria Magdalena at the Darmstadt State Theater in 1986 , Bernhards Am Ziel and in 1989 Wedekind's Spring Awakening at the Josefstadt theater .

Cabaret

Since 1990, together with the actor Joachim Dietmar Mues and the pianist and singer Joachim Kuntzsch , she has played the program outside red and inside ... a Tucholsky evening , in which three texts by the satirist Kurt Tucholsky were presented.

Since summer 2005, Hannelore Hoger and her daughter Nina Hoger have been performing with the Ensemble Noisten . Occasionally she appears with her former partner, the pianist Siegfried Gerlich, with various programs.

social commitment

Hoger put her popularity in the service of social causes such as the BMFSFJ campaign “Looking. Act. Help! ”Against sexual violence against children from April 2004 to February 2005. In 2003, Hoger also took part in an awareness campaign by the German Cancer Aid for early mammography screening against breast cancer.

In her commentary on the turn of the year 2001/2002 she pointed out that the global market economy was killing 24,000 people every day.

Since 2007 she has been the patron of the “Every Grandma Counts” campaign by the aid organization Helpage Germany , which is looking for supporters for aid projects for the benefit of elderly people in developing countries .

Quotes

“She is rigidly self-confident, probably hard to get for the less attractive (which she, who sees herself as an ensemble player, vehemently denies), she is considered 'difficult', an intelligent diva. [...] As an actress, Hoger is a discoverer, a seductress, whose keen curiosity for characters is contagious. Incites. […] As a director, she remained the inventive observer, the curious discoverer she was and is as an actress, an imaginative, stimulating virtuoso of the acting (s) trade. "
