Life

Hans E. Schons was born in Malmedy, now Belgium, which in 1919 still belonged to Prussia . He grew up in Düsseldorf . He was drafted in the Second World War - also in the last theater season of the German Reich in 1943/44, when he was a member of the ensemble of the Schleswig City Theater . He began his post-war career in 1945 at the Stadttheater Bonn , of which he was a member until 1948. After that, the actor was under contract at the Stadttheater Trier until 1951 . Further positions followed, later apparently also in his adopted home Berlin. There he married his colleague Dagmar Altrichter on February 17, 1977 . The marriage lasted until his death.

His film and television career began around the mid-1950s. He often worked under the director Fritz Umgelter . In 1956 he was seen here alongside Marlies Schönau and Eva Demski in a leading role in the crime film Das Spinnennetz nach Agatha Christie . A year later, alongside Edmund Saussen and Georg Lehn, he was one of the leading actors in Big in Small Things . In 1959 he played an Iranian colonel in one of the first German street sweepers , the six-part play So Far Your Feet , which was based on the book of the same name by Josef Martin Bauer , who was involved in the interrogation of Clemens Forell, a prisoner of war who had fled the Soviet Union . His partners here were Heinz Weiss and Robert Bürkner . Schons also used Umgelter in his next multi-part series On the Green Beach of the Spree and Whoever Eats Out of the Tin Bowl , but only in minor supporting roles. In the first Jerry Cotton film Shots from the Violin Case , with George Nader and Heinz Weiss, he again had a bigger role as the gangster Christallo. Here he could also be seen on the cover of the film paperback. In 1970 Schons was again one of the main actors in the television film Gneisenau - The Political Rebellion of a Soldier by director Werner Schlechte alongside Ullrich Haupt , Wolfgang Weiser and Thomas Holtzmann . In the later years he was seen, among other things, as a chauffeur in the film With Me You're Right With Dieter Hallervorden , Rosel Zech and Ezard Haussmann .
