biography

In 1967 Luft married for the first time; the marriage resulted in two children. In 1975 she started working as a prostitute. A year later she got divorced and was her second marriage to a sergeant of the US Army stationed in Germany . With increasing popularity she advertised - alluding to her obesity - to be “Berlins” or later “Germanys thickest whore ”.

Together with her husband and according to her statement at his instigation, she committed sexual abuse of her underage daughter Christine from her first marriage. After she had confided in third parties, Luft was sentenced to probation in 1983 ; she also divorced her husband. In the 1990s, Molly Luft became known throughout Germany through various appearances, especially in talk shows on private television stations ; she herself moderated a television program on the Berlin Open Channel for years . In 1999 she also played in the video for "Michi Beck in Hell" by Fantastischen Vier . The Berlin rock band Die Zoologen dedicated the song "Im Puff bei Molly Luft", which was also published in 1999, to her. Her extravagant appearances and the constant coverage of the Berlin tabloid press made her one of the city's trash icons.

Her brothel in Schöneberg was known for its low prices ; These were explained in full and in explicit language on the company's answering machine, which is also well known in the city . In 2004, according to the specified 90,000 suitors , she temporarily stopped working as a prostitute, sold her brothel and opened a corner pub in Kreuzberg .

However, after suffering from severe colon cancer and losing weight to 125  kilograms, she gave away the poorly running restaurant and, after her husband Archibald died in spring 2009, again ran a small brothel in Tiergarten , which she gave up a few months later to move to an old people's home to pull.

On November 24, 2010, Luft died at the age of 66 in the Bethel retirement home in Koepenick as a result of her cancer .
