Life
Otto Dürr was an administrative clerk in the civilian profession and worked as such first in the Mainz city administration, then at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and finally as a personnel administrator at ZDF . In 1965 Dürr took the step into self-employment and opened an artist agency. Dürr and Berresheim were so successful with their portrayal of the two cleaning women that they also appeared in these roles outside of the carnival season.
