Life

Hans-Günter Martens was born on May 12, 1930 in Altona ( belonging to Hamburg since 1938 ), where he also spent his childhood. During the Second World War he lived in Elbing / West Prussia . At the city theater there, he began his acting career as a 13-year-old in extras. After graduating from the Wilhelm-Gymnasium in Hamburg , he studied drama with Gisela von Collande - at the time the star of the Thalia Theater (Hamburg) . Martens then played at the Schillertheater (Berlin) and at the Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz in Munich (in Leo Falls' operetta Madame Pompadour, for example, Ludwig XV ). Under Dieter Dorn he worked as a dramaturge and vice-director at the Münchner Kammerspiele and under Hellmuth Matiasek as operations director at the Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz.

For more than 40 years he worked extensively on the radio microphone, as a speaker for many radio plays and as an author for more than 30 program formats. For example, from 1969 onwards he designed the radio program Ich hab 'zu Haus' a gramophone for BR and NDR , in which he presented rarities of early hits and operettas from his own extensive collection of shellac records and commented knowledgeably as well as humorously and ironically. He also made a name for himself with souvenir programs about well-known artists such as Theo Lingen , Karl Valentin and Max Pallenberg . Martens himself was one of the greatest connoisseurs of the legendary couplet artist Otto Reutter , about whom he put together a six-part commemorative program with a total of over three hours of broadcasting time for the NDR, which he moderated himself.

In the last years of his life, he lived with his wife, the actress Ilse Ruesch, in an apartment in the Pöseldorf district of Hamburg, close to the radio , which he had chosen for his shellac record collection , not least because of its spacious rooms. On New Year's Eve 2000, Martens had a serious fall and broke two ribs. On the following New Year's Day 2001, at the age of 70, he succumbed to the internal bleeding caused by the fall. Hans-Günter Martens found his final resting place in the Ohlsdorf cemetery .
