He served in the Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler and took part in the French campaign , the occupation of Greece and the war against the Soviet Union.

In 1972 the ensemble separated, but continued to be active on television and radio.

In the German synchronization of the monkey king "King Louie" in the Walt Disney film adaptation of the Jungle Book (1967), Havenstein took over both the speaking and the singing part. He also dubbed Michel Galabru ( Der Gendarme von Saint Tropez ), Gene Hackman ( Frankenstein Junior ), Jack Lemmon ( No Time for Heroism ), Alberto Sordi ( Vitelloni ) and Peter Ustinov, among others .

In 46 years he produced around 3,000 programs. He designed the radio children's series Jeremias Schrumpelhut by Wolf-Dieter von Tippelskirch , in which he spoke all 50 roles himself.

In 1996 Havenstein left the radio as a moderator. From 1990 to 1992 he was director of the Bad Vilbel Castle Festival , where the Klaus-Havenstein-Weg leading to the festival is dedicated to him today. He also took guest roles in various television programs, including Rudi's Tagesshow with Rudi Carrell . In 1976 he appeared in the television series Emergency Medical Vehicle 7 .
