Life

Nader was born as the son of master blacksmith Fritz Kranke and his wife Emma. He spent his childhood between 1935 and 1945 in Bärwalde, near Königsberg. After the escape caused by the Second World War and a three-year stay in the Oksbøl refugee camp in Denmark , he received training in drawing and journalism in Bad Segeberg, Schleswig-Holstein, and graduated from school in 1956 with the Abitur.

In the same year he started in Cologne studying theater and literature at the University of Cologne , also took acting lessons and wrote his first pieces.

Several of his plays were performed at the Studiobühne in Cologne (often with himself in the leading roles), including the scandalous play "Jussopoff und die Aufpasser". In the following years pictorial and plastic works moved to the fore in Nader's artistic work, his theater activities concentrated on one-man theater.

In 1958 he married Ferry Teymurian from Iran. He took the name Nader , which from this point on is also his stage name. The daughters Katayon and Natascha, the grandchildren Pablo Giw , Roxana, Omid and Joshua emerged from the marriage.

From 1969 to 1994 Nader was head of the Iran editorial team at the Deutsche Welle radio station in Cologne. Numerous stays in Iran were the order of the day, the Persian world of colors and shapes had a strong influence on his artistic work.

In 1969 the first solo exhibition, "Pictures and sculptures based on Persian motifs" took place in Düsseldorf , followed by solo exhibitions at home and abroad. From 1987 on, only studio exhibitions followed, and there are also numerous pictures, objects and sculptures in many domestic and foreign private collections.
