His family was expelled from Czechoslovakia to Waren / Müritz in 1946 , where he graduated from high school and in 1952 went to Berlin to the Humboldt University , where he studied German and theater studies until 1956 . In the last years of his studies he worked as an assistant at the Berliner Ensemble with Bertolt Brecht for the production of The Caucasian Chalk Circle . He then began working as a director of literature, features and radio plays for the GDR radio , which he carried out until 1989. Numerous recordings and productions - e.g. B. the series The Treasure Chest and Bookmarks were created under his direction.
