Life

The son of a senior teacher attended secondary school and began studying literary history and German. During the Second World War he became a British prisoner of war, and he participated in a study group for radio plays in the Ascot camp .

Teege began his artistic career in 1945 as a radio speaker and author of the BBC's German Prisoners Program ( Home Service , London). Back in Germany, he became an assistant director in the radio play department of the NWDR and the RIAS . In 1947 he completed an acting training at the school of the Hebbeltheater in Berlin and made his debut in the same year on the stage of the Theater am Waldsee as a young shepherd in Shakespeare's A Winter Tale .

In 1947 he became a member of the ensemble at the Renaissance Theater . Other theater stations in Berlin were the Theater am Kurfürstendamm , Theater der Jugend, the Kammerspiele of the German Theater and the Tribune am Knie as well as theaters in Munich and Vienna. In 1949 and 1950 he played under the direction of Bert Brecht , Erich Engel and Caspar Neher at the Berliner Ensemble in the pieces Mother Courage and Her Children , Mr. Puntila and his servant Matti and Der Hofmeister . In 1949 Teege was also one of the founders of the cabaret Die Stachelschweine , together with Rolf Ulrich , Alexander Welbat and Klaus Becker , which first appeared in the jazz cellar “Bathtub”. Because of the engagements listed above, he was only able to play in their third program, but also directed the eighth program Das Brettl hoch (premiere April 7, 1951).

Since 1953, the strikingly gaunt actor has received numerous roles in film and television. Due to its striking appearance, many of them were in the comic subject. He played alongside Heidelinde Weis in Liselotte von der Pfalz , alongside Erwin Linder in Carl Zuckmayer's comedy The Merry Vineyard , alongside Curt Goetz a witness in his court comedy Hokuspokus (he played the same role 13 years later alongside Heinz Rühmann in the remake of the same name ), in Bernhard Wickis Das Wunder des Malachias , in the Edgar Wallace crime thriller The Hunchback from Soho and alongside Gert Fröbe and Terry-Thomas in Tolldreiste Kerle in Rattelnen Raketen , a British comedy based on motifs by Jules Verne , in which Teege as a Russian spy finally involuntarily became the first person flies to the moon.

In addition, Teege, who had been a member of the German Stage Members' Association (GDBA) since 1953 , worked for radio (especially NWDR and HR ). In 1962 he became a member of the German Academy of Performing Arts in Frankfurt am Main . He died of a heart attack at the age of 43 . His final resting place is in the Munich North Cemetery .
