Wussow was married a total of four times. One daughter comes from his first marriage (1951 to 1960) with the actress Jolande Franz (1927–2015). From her marriage to actress Ida Krottendorf (1960 to 1991) there were two children: Barbara and Alexander Wussow , both also actors. His son-in-law is the actor Albert Fortell . Benjamin Wussow, who was born in 1993 and now lives as a Christian missionary in Spain , comes from his third marriage (1992 to 2003) with the 26 years younger journalist Yvonne Viehöfer . The marriage was divorced in 2003. In 2004 Wussow married Sabine Scholz, the widow of the boxer Bubi Scholz .

Wussow was recently heavily indebted, according to media reports with up to three million euros, and had to register personal bankruptcy in 2001 . Klausjürgen Wussow, who suffered from dementia, lived in a nursing home in Strausberg in Brandenburg from July 2006 . In the last months of his life he had to be treated in the intensive care unit of the Evangelical Hospital in Rüdersdorf near Berlin after a circulatory collapse . He died there on June 19, 2007 at the age of 78.

Despite a will from Wussow from 2000 to be buried next to his second wife Ida Krottendorf in Vienna- Grinzing , the actor was buried on June 30, 2007 after a memorial service in the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in Berlin at the Heerstraße cemetery in Berlin -Westend buried (grave location: Erb. 2-D-2). According to Wussow's request, the sermon was held by the TV priest Jürgen Fliege , who also gave the blessing at the grave.

theatre

After his debut at the Volksbühne Schwerin , other stages in his theater career included the Hebbel Theater and the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm in Berlin as well as the municipal theaters in Frankfurt , Düsseldorf , Cologne , Zurich and Munich . From 1964 to 1986 he was a member of the Vienna Burgtheater ensemble .

watch TV

In the 1960s he played in The Fifth Column (ZDF) . In the 1970s, Wussow worked primarily as an actor in television series, for example in the 26-part series Der Kurier der Kaiserin . He also starred in Sergeant Berry , but left the series after thirteen episodes and was later replaced by Harald Juhnke . He also played in the series Ringstrasse Palace .

Wussow became known to a wide audience through his role as Professor Brinkmann in 70 episodes of the television series Die Schwarzwaldklinik (1985–1988) on ZDF . Wussow was given leave of absence from Claus Peymann , the director of the Burgtheater at the time, to film the Black Forest Clinic . Due to the enormous success of the hospital series in Glottertal , he left the Burgtheater ensemble in 1986 after his last theater appearances in Vienna. Around 28 million viewers per program followed the series at the time, which ensured it was very popular. Since it was his original professional desire to become a doctor (see Wussow's books Mein Leben als Chefarzt and Professor Brinkmann and I ), he dedicated himself to the role of Prof. Brinkmann with particular pleasure. From 1996 to 2003 Wussow again played the role of chief physician in 23 episodes of the ARD series Klinik unter Palmen .
