Life

Born in Berlin, he attended drama school immediately after graduating from high school. At the age of 19 he made his debut as an actor at a Berlin theater in 1937. From 1941 he also worked as a theater director. In the same year he turned to the radio and was employed there in the same position. So he had to constantly coordinate both functions.

After the war he went to Munich , where he joined the radio station Radio Munich , the forerunner of Bavarian broadcasting . Since 1949 he worked in the news department in a leading position.

Since 1946 he worked in the radio play department as an editor and director. In addition to classical plays by William Shakespeare , Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Molière, he also staged numerous works by contemporary authors. The ARD radio play archive lists more than 100 productions in which he was the director. These included, for example, Iphigenie auf Tauris from 1946, with Angela von Courten , Hans Christian Blech and Benno Sterzenbach , Der Wundertätige Magus from 1948, with Anneliese Fleyen-Schmidt , Hanns Stein and Heinz-Günter Stamm , and Julius Caesar from 1956, with Kurt Horwitz , Arthur Menz and Alice Treff . In some radio plays he also appeared as a speaker himself.

He has also worked as a director for several audio game labels. For example, for Ariola at the children's radio plays Kasperl as a cowboy , Kasperl at the Eskimos and Kasperl and the castle ghost or for Maritim at Kasperle's new adventures and children, are you all there?

Helmut Brennicke, whose hobby was classical music , also worked as an acting teacher and author of several books, including Der Weg zur Diskothek from 1959 and ... rarely advertised ... satire, carnival programs, carnival from 1969.

He was married to the actress Rosemarie Lang (* May 27, 1922, † July 12, 1996). She also appeared frequently as a speaker in radio play productions, which her husband directed. The son Michael Brennicke also became an actor, as did his adopted daughter Nadeshda Brennicke . His son Thomas Brennicke was a radio presenter and head of the light music department at Bayerischer Rundfunk for many years .

The couple's urn grave is located in the Gauting Forest Cemetery , field 73, row 4, no.
