Live and act

Little is known about Bothe-Pelzer's career. Before the Second World War he played at theaters in Berlin and Vienna. He had to give up acting because of a war injury to his leg. After the Second World War he worked as a freelance writer and came into contact sporadically with the cinema in the 1950s. Bothe-Pelzer has been known since 1967 when he began intensively writing screenplays for television. His specialty were early evening series, which he mainly delivered for ZDF . For some of these series Bothe-Pelzer also wrote novels with very similar or identical titles (such as "The diamond detective - duel in the desert" and "John Ralling - adventures around diamonds"). At the beginning of the 1970s he also wrote a series of scripts for Swiss fairy tale films for Rudolf Jugert , all of which were made in 1971. A decade later, Bothe-Pelzer ended his television activity again. Heinz Bothe-Pelzer, who had also published under the pseudonyms Fred Daysenhof and Henry Morrisson, lived in Cape Town (South Africa) and Deisenhofen near Munich, where he died on November 9, 2015 at the age of 99.

His son is the painter Mathias Waske.
