Life

Jennifer Nitsch, whose parents separated around 1968, attended the Godesberg pedagogy and trained as a costume designer after graduating from high school . After her first career steps as a stage assistant at WDR , she made her theatrical breakthrough in the film Alone Among Women (1991). The director Dieter Wedel hired her in 1994 for his five-part film Der Schattenmann . In it she played alongside Mario Adorf , Stefan Kurt and Heiner Lauterbach . She also worked with other well-known film directors such as Sönke Wortmann and Milan Dor . Nitsch liked to play emancipated , combative women who go their way undeterred. Her rough voice was striking.

For her portrayal of the title role in the ZDF five-part series Nur eine kleine Affäre she was awarded the Bavarian Television Prize in 1994 and the Adolf Grimme Prize in 1995. Her last work was the title role in the television film Judith Kemp , in which she played a courageous business lawyer in 2004. The successful opening film was to be followed by a television series that could no longer be implemented.

Jennifer Nitsch died on June 13, 2004 when she fell from the fourth floor of her attic apartment in Munich's Schwabing district . Since she suffered from depression , suicide is assumed, although an accident cannot be completely ruled out. She was buried in Sankt Peter-Ording in the cemetery of the Evangelical Church of St. Nikolai .
