Bernhard-Viktor Christoph-Carl von Bülow was born on November 12, 1923 as the son of the police lieutenant Johann-Albrecht Wilhelm von Bülow (1899-1972) and his first wife Charlotte Mathilde Luise, born von Roeder (1899-1929), daughter of Otto von Roeders (1876–1943), born in Brandenburg / Havel. His parents divorced in Gleiwitz in 1928 .

The von Bülow family is an old Mecklenburg noble family with the parent house of the same name in the village of Bülow near Rehna . The name Bülow was first mentioned in 1154 when the foundation stone of the Ratzeburg Cathedral was laid . The line of trunks begins with Godofridus de Bulowe (1229). Many members of the family made it to high offices in the state, in the military and in the church, or rendered outstanding services to cultural life. Vicco von Bülow's best-known ancestors and relatives include the General of the Wars of Liberation Friedrich Wilhelm von Bülow , the Imperial Chancellor of the German Empire Bernhard von Bülow , and the co-founder of the Scientific-Humanitarian Committee Franz Joseph von Bülow .

From 1951 von Bülow was married to the Hamburg merchant's daughter and then fashion student Rose-Marie, daughter of Peter Schlumbom , known as Romi (* 1929), and was the father of two daughters - Bettina and Susanne - and the grandfather of two grandchildren. He lived in Ammerland on Lake Starnberg from 1963 until his death.

Life

Childhood, war, education

Von Bülow grew up with his one year younger brother from 1927 with grandmother and great-grandmother in Berlin . In 1933 the siblings moved back in with their father, who had remarried in 1932. Von Bülow attended the Schadow High School in Berlin-Zehlendorf from 1934 to 1938 . The family moved to Stuttgart with their father in 1938 . Von Bülow attended the humanistic Eberhard-Ludwigs-Gymnasium there , which he left in 1941 at the age of seventeen with a secondary school diploma. In Stuttgart he also gained his first experience as an extra in opera and drama. In 1940 he played as an extra in the film Friedrich Schiller - The Triumph of a Genius .

In line with family tradition, he began an officer career, spent three years with the 3rd Panzer Division on the Eastern Front and was awarded the Iron Cross, second and first class; he reached the rank of first lieutenant . His younger brother, Johann-Albrecht Sigismund von Bülow, who was also born in Brandenburg on November 27, 1924, died as a lieutenant at Gorgast im Oderbruch on March 21, 1945 . Vicco von Bülow's military personnel file contained no evidence of National Socialist sentiments.

When asked whether he was a good soldier in World War II , he replied in an interview: “Not good enough, otherwise I would have belonged to the resistance on July 20, 1944 . But for the gruesome German contribution to world history I will be ashamed for the rest of my life. "

After the war, according to his own account, he worked as a lumberjack in the Solling for about a year in order to earn ration cards . In 1946 he made a six-month transition course in Northeim at the Corvinianum high school from his secondary school diploma to a regular high school diploma, which entitled him to university studies. On the advice of his father, he studied painting and graphics at the art academy (state art school ) in Hamburg from 1947 to 1949 . Alfred Mahlau was one of his teachers .

Early work

After graduating, Bülow presented his first work as a commercial artist and designed the characteristic bulbous-nosed man . From 1950 onwards, Bülow worked as a cartoonist, first for the Hamburg magazine Die Straße , and then for Stern magazine. Since then he has been using the stage name Loriot .

His first regular series in Stern was supposed to come on the dog . Some of these early cartoons sparked major protests among readers:

  • A lady dog ​​sits in a beach chair - upright, in a bikini and with a swimming cap. A small person is playing in the sand in front of her, and a dog is standing on its hind legs next to it. "Kurverwaltung" is written on his armband, he looks sternly from under his peaked cap. “If everyone brought their people to the beach with them!” Snaps the dog.
  • Two dogs are leaning against the window and looking out; it is raining heavily. A person lies on the floor, curled up and asleep. Says one dog to the other: “With this kind of weather you don't want to chase people out of your door!” Many readers threatened not to buy the star anymore or to cancel their subscriptions.

Henri Nannen , the editor-in-chief at the time, stopped the series after seven episodes and ended the collaboration: "I never want to see the guy in Stern again!"

After being hired by Stern , not a single publisher in Germany showed interest in printing the series as a small book. Among other things, Ernst Rowohlt refused. On the advice of a friend, Loriot sent the drawings to the Swiss Daniel Keel . He had founded Diogenes Verlag in 1952 and was looking for a German draftsman. In 1954 the two presented the book Auf den Hundkommen at the Frankfurt Book Fair . 44 loveless drawings . This is how a lifelong collaboration began; From then on Loriot published almost exclusively with Keel.

The book Reinhold Das Nashorn was also published in 1954 . It contained episodes of the comic strip of the same name, which had appeared in Sternchen , the newly created children's supplement to Stern , since 1953 . Loriot contributed most of the ideas as well as the drawings, the verses came from Wolf Uecker . The series ran for 17 years.

In December 1953, four drawings by Loriot were published on the back of Weltbild . In May 1954, Loriot signed a contract with the publishing house Th. Martens & Co. Initially, Loriot's work focused on the fortnightly magazine Weltbild , in which, among other things, the series True Stories appeared with over 100 episodes. From 1956, however, the focus of his work shifted to the Quick , a magazine from the same publisher that appeared weekly and was much more widespread. His first series in this magazine was Adam und Evchen , which appeared in 29 episodes between January and July 1956 and portrayed the married life of a young couple. The appearance of the protagonists differed from Loriot's usual bulbous noses, which he was already drawing at this point in time. The Quick editorial team had asked him to draw nicer faces. Loriot was dissatisfied with the result, later did not take up the style and, unlike many other drawings, decided not to publish the series in book form. Between October 1956 and December 1957 Quick appeared in the guidebook series Der gute Ton , of which in autumn 1957 parts were in book form as Der gute Ton. The manual of the fine way of life was published in words and pictures . The series and the book were a great success and were the prelude to further advisory series.

From September 1957, Loriot published the column The Open Letter, alternating with his role model and friend Manfred Schmidt . In it they satirically deal with current events, strange reports and personal experiences. The letters were always accompanied by a drawing. The column ended in 1961 at Loriot's request, after his hundredth letter led to protests from winemakers.

In addition, from the mid-1950s, Loriot increasingly took on advertising contracts, including for Paderborn beer , Agfa , the Scharlachberg brandy ("Take it easy!") And the tobacco brand Stanwell ("Three things a man needs."). Here, too, the bulbous noses were used in advertisements and cartoons and became more and more popular.

Loriot had smaller roles as an actor in Sharks and Small Fish (1957), in Bernhard Wicki's films The Bridge (1959) and The Miracle of Malachia (1961). He was also able to play a small role in Andrew Marton's war film The Longest Day (1962), on which Bernhard Wicki was co-director. In the same year he designed the cover of the first issue of the satirical magazine pardon .

In 1963, Vicco von Bülow moved with his family to Münsing- Ammerland near Lake Starnberg . There he was made an honorary citizen in 1993 as a respected member of the village community.

TV moderation, series, "Wum"

Loriot (1971)
For cartoon Loriot came up with the so-called forest pug , which several bronze sculptures in Brandenburg an der Havel are reminiscent of

Loriot moderated 1967-1972 the television broadcast cartoon for the South German broadcast of the ARD , which he was responsible as author and co-director. Originally it was a series of international cartoons in which he also brought in his own work and thus artistically departed from the narrow framework conditions that the magazine medium had imposed on his drawings. Loriot's initially pure moderation from a red sofa increasingly became an independent humorous element of the program. Later, Loriot also incorporated skits in which he himself played the lead role in the episodes.

In 1971, Loriot created the cartoon dog Wum, a mascot for the problem child campaign in the ZDF quiz show Drei Mal Neun , which he himself also lent the voice. After Loriot, the parodist Jörg Knör took on the dubbing of the two cartoon characters for seven years. In the beginning Wum was still the loyal friend of a male, the actual mascot, from which he more and more stole the show and which he finally suppressed completely. At Christmas 1972, Wum became a singing star: With the title I wish 'mir' ne little Kitty , he was so successful that he topped the German charts for nine weeks. This was at WUMS singing to von Bulow's chant. Wum remained in the follow-up program The Grand Prize until the 1990s as a pause filler, soon as a duo with the elephant Wendelin and later with the Blue Klaus , an alien who floated in with his flying saucer. Loriot wrote and drew the cartoon stories, which each time closed with an invitation to viewers to take part in the television lottery, and gave his voice to all the characters. The adventures of Wum and Wendelin ended with the last episode of The Grand Prize . Today the couple can be seen on the back page of the TV magazine Gong .

The cartoon series ended in 1972 . In 1974 Süddeutsche Rundfunk produced a single program called Loriots Telecabinet , which anticipated some of what was to come in the course of the decade. In 1976, Loriot's clean screen was the first episode of the six-part television series Loriot on Radio Bremen , in which he presented both cartoons and acted skits (the latter often together with Evelyn Hamann ). The series is considered the highlight of his television career and made Loriot an integral part of German television, literary, cultural and social history. The skits and cartoons became very popular in Germany and some of them are still regularly repeated on television. The introductions and humorous interludes by Loriot and Evelyn Hamann between the film contributions took place on a green sofa. In 1983 Radio Bremen produced Loriot's 60th birthday program for ARD on his 60th birthday .

Classical music and opera

Loriot developed a special love for classical music and opera. His grandmother, who played Mozart, Puccini and Bach on the piano for him as a child, and his father's record collection with recordings of opera arias aroused his interest. During his time in Stuttgart, Loriot lived within walking distance of the Stuttgart Opera and worked as an extra on the opera stage.

In 1982 he conducted the "humorous festival concert" for the 100th birthday of the Berliner Philharmoniker , with whose history he was connected through family relationships ( Hans von Bülow , the first chief conductor of the Philharmoniker, was a distant relative of Loriot). Loriot has repeatedly performed his narrative version of the Carnival of the Animals with the Scharoun Ensemble , a chamber music ensemble made up of musicians from the Berlin Philharmonic.

As a director, Loriot staged the operas Martha (Stuttgart, 1986) and Der Freischütz (Ludwigsburg, 1988). His narrative version of Wagner's Ring des Nibelungen has been performed since 1992 : The Ring in One Evening , premiered with the ensemble of the Nationaltheater Mannheim . Loriot's Ring was also the only item on the program of the 1995 Opera Gala for the benefit of the German AIDS Foundation, which was held in Berlin for the first time . Until 2006, Loriot was the moderator of this annual event at the Deutsche Oper Berlin . His moderation texts later formed the basis for Loriot's little opera guide . His successor as moderator of the AIDS gala was Max Raabe from 2007 .

For Leonard Bernstein's operetta Candide , Loriot wrote new texts for a concert performance, which made the plot easier to understand and helped the piece to gain new popularity in Germany. The new version of the concertante Candide was premiered in 1997 in the Prinzregententheater Munich.

cinemamovies

In 1988 Loriot shot the film Oedipussi as a writer, director and leading actor , followed by Pappa ante portas in 1991 . Here played Evelyn Hamann each the female lead. Both films were produced by Horst Wendlandt , who also produced most of the films by Otto Waalkes and Hape Kerkeling .

Vicco von Bülow died on August 22, 2011 at the age of 87 in Ammerland on Lake Starnberg. He was buried on August 30, 2011 in the closest family circle at the Waldfriedhof Heerstraße in the Westend district of Berlin . A funeral service was also held for him in the Evangelical Lutheran St. Gotthardt Church in Brandenburg / Havel , where von Bülow was baptized on December 30, 1923. In 1986, Loriot publicly called for donations for the renovation of the church.

The Art Directors Club mourned its honorary member in a newspaper advertisement with the words: "Dear God, have fun!"

Vicco von Bülow's final resting place in the Heerstraße cemetery (grave location: Erb. 2d-3a / b / c) has been dedicated to the State of Berlin as an honorary grave since 2020 . The dedication is initially valid for the usual period of twenty years, but can then be extended.

Memorial sites

In addition to the grave in the Berlin forest cemetery on Heerstraße, “Loriots Weg” commemorates him in his place of birth, Brandenburg, with several stations, including some of his places of life and work, a seated bulbous-nosed man and the figure Müller-Lüdenscheid.

In his long-term residence in Münsing on Lake Starnberg, a fountain in the village square commemorates Loriot as an honorary citizen of the community. It is a stone bathtub with the two seated men made of bronze who spray each other with a jet from their mouths.

Since November 2013, a column on Eugensplatz in Stuttgart has indicated that Loriot lived there when he was a teenager. After a pug figure placed on the memorial during a humorous action caused a stir and disappeared again a little later in an unexplained manner, the bronze statue of a pug has officially adorned the column since May 2014. Since June 8, 2015, a plaque on the facade of the house at Haussmannstrasse 1 reminds that Loriot lived “on the third floor of this house from 1938 to 1941”. In 2013, a bronze replica of the Loriot sofa - also with a pug sculpture - was placed in front of the Radio Bremen broadcasting center in Bremen. In the same year, the inauguration of Loriotplatz took place on Hillmannplatz in the city center. In 2013 the Vicco-von-Bülow-Gymnasium was inaugurated in Stahnsdorf, Brandenburg .

Artistic handwriting

Loriot's works mainly deal with interpersonal communication disorders.

“I am most interested in people with communication disorders. Everything that I find strange arises from the crumbled communication, from talking past each other. "

- Loriot

His cartoons thrive on the contrast between the depicted situation, the dignity of his bulbous-nosed males and the legendary texts. One of these elements is always out of the ordinary, for example the legendary text “We demand equality between men and women, even if the infant should temporarily lose weight”, with the depiction of a gentleman with a bulbous nose who is distinguished by a small child. Another cartoon shows how a house painter who works at the top of a high chimney falls down with a brush, to which the legend text notes dryly: "Pure badger hair brushes are sensitive, but with fine work they are cleaner."

The themes of the cartoons are, in particular, everyday life, scenes from the family and civil society and often the proverbial "problem of the object". Loriot made the absurdity visible in normal everyday situations and, for example, ridiculed in his "advisors" the longing for fixed, learnable rules in social interaction that was widespread in post-war German society, observance of which should protect against embarrassment. With Loriot, the comedy often arises in the sketches because the characters try to adhere to these social rules and norms even in inappropriate and grotesque situations (e.g. when two unknown men accidentally landed in the same bathtub), which creates an often absurd sense of humor. In his films and sketches , Loriot showed, so to speak, the 'bravery' of people who try to prevent a catastrophe (or at least the destructive outbreak of aggression) in a wide variety of situations through their bourgeois manners and thus try to preserve their dignity. Skilfully used slippery accents are also striking . Loriot's humor was characterized by a masterful use of the German language .

Some of Loriot's inventions and formulations became common property in the German-speaking world. These include the yodel diploma , the stone louse (which is even represented with an entry in the Pschyrembel ) and the Cossack tip with the insults “Jodelschnepfe” and “Winselstute”, which mark the climax of the conflict in the associated sketch, but also sentences like “I've got something of my own, [there] I have my yodelling diploma ”,“ And riders are always needed! ”,“ Please don't say anything now… ”,“ That is carefully observed ”,“ There used to be more tinsel ! ”,“ A piano, a piano ! ”,“ The picture is crooked! ”,“ Heinzelmann sucks and blows where Mutti can otherwise only suck ”(as well as the variant“ where Mutti can only suck ”),“ Men and women (simply) don't go together ! ”,“ Women also have their good ”or the laconic“ Oh (what)! "

Copyright disputes

In March 2012, the Berlin Regional Court ruled in favor of Vicco von Bülow's heirs that Wikipedia is not allowed to show welfare stamps with Loriot's motifs. The images had already been removed in autumn 2011 following an injunction.

The biography published by riva Verlag in Munich shortly after Loriot's death had to be withdrawn from the market in mid-January 2013 due to copyright violations. Loriot's daughter Susanne von Bülow had sued the Braunschweig regional court against the fact that the book contained too many quotations from Loriot. The plaintiff achieved partial success. The book was later reprinted in a modified form.

In 2019, two Munich courts had to deal with the sentence “There used to be more tinsel!”. Loriot's heirs wanted to forbid a manufacturer from printing this sentence on T-shirts. Both courts decided, however, that the sentence alone lacks "sufficient height of creation ". "This sentence learns its peculiarity and originality by embedding it in the Loriot sketch Christmas at Hoppenstedts and the comic situation."
