Life

Heinrich was born in Mecklenburg . His father was missing after the war and he grew up as a half-orphan with his mother Emma Heinrich . After training as a steel shipbuilder, Heinrich began studying acting at the Leipzig Theater School in 1965 . In the second year of his studies he was engaged for the DEFA production Farewell to Egon Günther . Since then, Heinrich has appeared in numerous film and television productions in the GDR .

In 1982 he resigned from the SED in protest against the invasion of the Soviet troops in Afghanistan , which in turn caused Heinrich to be banned from working. He kept himself afloat for three years doing odd jobs as a taxi driver and tailor. In 1985 he had to leave the GDR for West Berlin , where the Schiller Theater engaged him for two and a half years. He made an appearance in Der Himmel über Berlin (1986/87) and in A Judge for Berlin (1988). Heinrich received guest roles in television series such as Tatort , Der Alte , Polizeiruf 110 and Praxis Bülowbogen , before Sat.1 offered him the leading role in the crime series Wolffs Revier in 1992 , in which he embodied a chief detective and subsequently directed Tag der Abrechnung for the first time. In 1993 he was for the series along with Karlheinz Willschrei , Klaus Ponitz and Gerd Wameling with the Adolf Grimme Prize awarded bronze. The last episode, entitled Fear , aired on May 24, 2006 and ended with the protagonist's death. According to Jürgen Heinrich in the Johannes B. Kerner show , the entire team was surprised by the discontinuation of the format. The reason for the end was not the absolute, but the audience ratings achieved in the advertising-relevant target group . In 2011 the series was reactivated again. The alleged death of Heinrich's character Wolff was portrayed in such a way that he only fell into a coma. However, there was only one film of 90 minutes. Again, the audience rating of the advertising-relevant target group was the reason why no further episodes or films were ordered.

Jürgen Heinrich also worked as a voice actor over and over again. He dubbed Fred Dryer in the title role of the long-lived US crime series Hunter , James Belushi in Palermo Forget , William Hurt in AI - Artificial Intelligence , Samuel L. Jackson in Deep Blue Sea or James Cromwell in Spirit - The Wild Mustang . He also lends the role of Friedrich Wagner in the radio play soap ... and besides love his voice.
