Life

Haeberle founded a jazz cellar in Ravensburg at the end of the 1950s and was active as a representative for IOS investment funds in southern Germany in the 1960s . With a dazzling lifestyle with a “fat Mercedes” and sports car, he was noticed in the Swabian province and was soon known. At that time he also wrote columns for a men's magazine. In 1969 he was arrested in the course of the bankruptcy of the IOS and sentenced to prison in 1971 for fraud, embezzlement and embezzlement. During his imprisonment, Haeberle wrote the strongly autobiographical novel Herby Derby , which was published by Insel-Verlag through Martin Walser's agency .

In addition to other book projects, Haeberle worked several times as an actor with the directors Volker Schlöndorff and Klaus Lemke . His screenplay Fort Bannowitz found no funding in Germany and was then filmed in Hollywood in 1980 under the title The Last Word with Richard Harris and Karen Black . In 1982 he directed the feature film A Good Country , for which he also wrote the screenplay. Later film projects did not materialize.

In 1979 director Jürgen Bretzinger filmed Haeberle's life with Ravensburger amateur actors in the television film Oktavius .
