Live and act

Karl Otto Ragotzky took acting lessons after graduating from high school and made his stage debut in 1951 at the Theater im Zimmer in Hamburg. He also worked as a freelance in market research.

Allens clear, Commissioner ( Dead Easy ), Bookstabeer times Mississippi ( How do you spell Mississippi? ) Or Allens or nicks ( Darling I'm home ). He also wrote the radio plays Straten , De Nacht as well as Anne B. and Vun den Fischer un sien Fru (with Heinz Wunderlich and Heinz Busch).

Ragotzky was next to his appearances in the Ohnsorg Theater a. a. seen in small roles in two early Edgar Wallace films , The Gang of Secrets and The Forger of London .

While he was managing director of the Ohnsorg Theater in the 1970s, arguments broke out between Ragotzky and the then artistic director Günther Siegmund , which finally ended in court and in the course of which both parties accused each other of alcoholism, which is definitely the case with Siegmund should have been.
