Klaus Münster (born September 3, 1935 in Bad Köstritz ) is a German actor and voice actor .

Live and act

Münster had taken acting lessons in Berlin for three years and then played theater in the GDR - in Zittau and Cottbus . Resident in the West since the beginning of the 1960s, he continued his work at the theater there ( Munich , Vienna and in West Berlin: Renaissance Theater, Young Theater, Hansa Theater). In addition, he often went on guest tours, including with his legendary Viennese colleague Helene Thimig .

As part of the ensemble stage Die Brücke, under the direction of Dieter Brammer and Joost Siedhoff , Münster was on a major tour of East Asia, Oceania and North America from April 1 to the end of December 1973 (tour stops including: Rangoon , Kuala Lumpur , Bangkok , Tokyo , Canberra , Hobart , Adelaide , Honolulu , Seattle , Chicago , Montreal , Boston , Washington, DC and New York ).

Münster has stood in front of film and television cameras since 1963 and in the following decades occupied the class of the classic batch. He played supporting roles in an abundance of productions, but in the early 1970s he also appeared in a number of soft sex strips designed for train station cinemas in which he embodied middle-class types (again and again husbands and simple employees). It was not until the second half of the same decade that offers from high-quality feature films were added, and Münster appeared in productions by renowned directors such as Franz Peter Wirth , Wolfgang Staudte , Fritz Umgelter , Theodor Kotulla , Hans W. Geißendörfer , Rainer Wolffhardt , Michael Verhoeven and Vicco von Bülow up. The roles remained rather small. Sometimes Munster was a GDR border soldier, sometimes a barge operator, postman, brigadier, department store customer or a farm worker. Only once was he trusted - with success - to play a leading role - in "Talfahrt". In the telenovela Sturm der Liebe in July 2013 he played Joseph Dietrich, the grandfather of the new series beast Patrizia Dietrich and, due to previous connections, formed the interface to the Saalfeld family, the main act of the series.

In addition to his over two hundred roles in front of the camera, Münster has also worked as a voice actor. In the 1980s he wrote and hosted the ARD series Pickwick Club - Oddities of Everyday Life for the broadcaster Free Berlin .
