Boettcher, he grew up with his older brothers Helmut (* 1927) and Hubertus (* 1928) in Braunschweig , where the family lived in the same place for the longest time. His father was imprisoned at the end of the war, convicted as a war criminal at the Nuremberg Trials in 1948 and released in 1951.

Hansjörg Felmy was “shaped by the war and the post-war period”. He attended the Hoffmann von Fallersleben School up to the lower secondary school . In 1944/1945 he was a boarding school student in the Free School Community of Wickersdorf . After an argument with a teacher, he left high school without a degree. He trained as a locksmith and book printer and then worked in this field. He gained his first acting experience on a touring stage. From 1947 to 1949 he took private acting lessons from Hella Kaiser .

In 1949 he got his first engagement at the Staatstheater Braunschweig , he made his debut as a worker in Carl Zuckmayer's Des Teufels General . In 1953 he moved to the Stadttheater Aachen .

He also appeared in international productions such as Alfred Hitchcock's The Torn Curtain (1966).

After Felmy had appeared almost exclusively in movies until the mid-1960s, his equally successful TV career began with the three-part Escape without a way out . Here he was best known in his role as Essen crime scene commissioner Heinz Haferkamp , whom he played between 1974 and 1980. In this role he had a relationship with his ex-wife Ingrid , who was played by Karin Eickelbaum . Haferkamp became one of the most popular crime scene investigators and Felmy one of the most popular TV stars of the 1970s (20 Haferkamp episodes were produced in just seven years).

After that he worked as a leading actor in several television series. In the company Köpenick (1985) he played the delicatessen manufacturer Philipp Kelch, in Die Wilsheimer (1987) the building contractor Jean Ziegler. In 1990 he played Charly Kapitzki, the airport manager's right-hand man, in the television series Adventure Airport . His last leading role in a television series was the Hamburg spice dealer Paul Hagedorn in the family series Hagedorns Daughter (1994).

As a voice actor, he lent his voice to Jack Nicholson (including Chinatown , Time of Tenderness and Heartburn ), Steve McQueen ( Getaway ) and Roy Scheider ( Jaws ) . Felmy could sing too. In the film adaptation of the musical Camelot - Am Hofe König Arthur (1967), he sang and spoke as the German voice of Franco Nero the Lancelot Du Lac and appeared in the current showroom of the NDR .

Since 1954 he has also worked intensively as a radio play speaker, as early as 1956 in As far as feet carry by Josef Martin Bauer , with u. a. Wolfgang Wahl , Kurt Lieck and Walter Richter . In 1963 he spoke to Charles Lindbergh in Mein Flug über den Ozean and in 1970 Beatty in Fahrenheit 451 with Hellmut Lange , Marianne Mosa and Alfred Balthoff .

Felmy was first married to the actress Elfriede Rückert , with whom he lived for many years in Nebel on the North Sea island of Amrum . After the divorce from Rückert, Felmy married his long-time partner Claudia Wedekind in 1986 . He had suffered from osteoporosis since the mid-1990s and had retired. He spent the last years of his life in Lower Bavaria and North Friesland, not far from Fahretoft .

Hansjörg Felmy died on August 24, 2007 in his house in Eching near Landshut. The funeral took place in silence at the forest cemetery in Munich in the presence of his family and close friends. In his will, drawn up a year earlier, he had ordered that his urn should be buried under a tree without a memorial stone.
