Live and act

Werner began his career in 1954 in Munich as a camera assistant at the world war drama company Edelweiß, which is set in Norway , and served as chief cameraman such as Franz Weihmayr , Klaus von Rautenfeld , Ernst W. Kalinke and above all Kurt Hasse for the following 13 years . In 1961 he became a simple cameraman under Hasse and worked in this position from 1963 to 1966 under the photographic direction of Rolf Kästel on some of the adventure strips produced by Wolf C. Hartwig's Rapid film ( The River Pirates from Mississippi , The Last Three of the Albatros , Five to 12 in Caracas ) with.

Werner began working as head cameraman for the first time in 1967 with the educational film Helga - Vom becoming of human life (at the side of Fritz Baader). After one last job as a camera assistant (in 1968 for Christian-Jacques's lavish Lady Hamilton costume film), Werner began to photograph films on his own on a regular basis in 1969. His employer Hartwig used him almost without exception for soft sex films; including the majority of the schoolgirl report strips. Occasionally, in the early 1970s, Werner photographed harmless romances, adventure stories and comedy clothes for other producers.

When Hartwig slowly stopped his film production at the beginning of the 80s and there were largely no cinema offers, Klaus Werner switched to television, for which he mainly photographed comedies. Most recently he worked there exclusively with the director Franz Josef Gottlieb . After working on camera for a comedy with Inge Meysel , Werner disappeared from the public eye in 1991.
