Artistic work
Karin Ugowski grew up in the devastated post-war Germany in Berlin-Johannisthal and, contrary to her parents' wishes, studied acting from 1962 to 1965 at the Konrad Wolf Academy for Film and Television in Potsdam - Babelsberg .
Before completing her acting studies, she was hired by DEFA to play leading female roles in fairy tale films . These films are now considered a rarity in German film history and are repeated annually on German television at Christmas time. This was followed by other leading roles in films such as B. Signals - A Space Adventure , Osceola , The Invisible Visor , and more. At the beginning of the 1970s she was part of the investigative team of Polizeiruf 110 for several cases and played in various episodes of the TV series The Public Prosecutor has the floor .
At the same time Karin Ugowski was on stage at various theaters in Berlin. Before she was called to the Volksbühne Berlin theater on Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz from the mid-1960s under the direction of Benno Besson , to whom she remained until 2003 under the direction of Frank Castorf , she was briefly at Maxim-Gorki -Theater engaged in Berlin. Well-known productions with Karin Ugowski at the Volksbühne included Jean Baptiste Molières The Doctor Against Will , directed by Benno Besson and Heiner Müller, or for example Ende Gut, Alles Gut by William Shakespeare , directed by her second partner, the actor, senior director and Director Helmut Straßburger .
Despite her active film work, Karin Ugowski remained an integral part of the theater ensemble of the Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz until 2003 and was with later film partners such as B. Armin Mueller-Stahl , Henry Hübchen and Leander Haußmann on a theater stage, which later, under the directorship of Frank Castorf, was to attract international attention through politically and socially critical and modern, provocative productions. She was one of the active advocates of political changes and the transformation of the Volksbühne under Frank Castorf and Christoph Schlingensief and continued to campaign for the theater, while she made guest appearances in film and television at the same time and the Volksbühne ensemble has already changed significantly.
A few years ago she again demonstrated her ability to change in the short film Open by Charlotte Siebenrock, in which she transformed from an old service station operator into a young-at-heart cheerful woman within three minutes. The short film was presented at various film festivals. From 2005 to 2009 Karin Ugowski played the continuous role of Eva Landmann in the telenovela Paths to Happiness .
In total, the actress took part in over 80 theater productions and over 150 film and television productions. In her biography Karin Ugowski was politically justified at all times as critical of the system, which is also reflected in her theater engagement and various readings. Karin Ugowski has been an active member of the German Film Academy since 2006 .
Private
She met her first husband, Eberhard Ugowski, and got married during her acting studies and her first big box office successes in the 1960s. At that time their first son was born. Even if the marriage lasted only a few years, as was customary at the time, she kept the name by which she was already known to a larger audience, especially as an actress.
In the 1970s she lived in a long-term partnership with the director , theater director and actor Helmut Straßburger , who died on June 20, 2010 , with whom she also worked on various theater productions and from which her second son, the author , independent theater and filmmaker , Composer and music producer Sebastian Ugovsky comes from and is also active in the industry. Under the music pseudonym "Gilmano", he was responsible for several international musical successes, among other things, and steered music titles for international US cinema productions such as B. The Equalizer with Denzel Washington , and built the Berlin-based music label and music production REQQORD (formerly " Slo 'Jam "). In two film productions in which Karin Ugowski was involved, he led directing .
In the 1980s, the actress cultivated a long-term spiritual friendship with the author and copywriter Peter Brasch , brother of the also well-known author and theater maker Thomas Brasch and the actor Klaus Brasch. Peter Brasch dedicated a volume of poetry (book dedication ) to her and wrote the radio play Die goldene Gans (1989) inspired by her embodiment of Princess Roswitha in the 1964 film adaptation of the same name.
Since 1993 Karin Ugowski has been married to the painter and graphic artist Günter Horn , Otto Nagel's last living student , who in 1970 was responsible for the stage design of one of the most successful productions of the Berlin Volksbühne - Diderot 's Rameau's nephew - and which was subsequently broadcast several times as a television recording. Together with him, she is committed to promoting culture in Northeastern Germany in Mecklenburg.
