Life

The son of a police officer was born in Bukovina in 1932 as a Romanian citizen. As a result of the Hitler-Stalin Pact , the family moved to Vienna, then to Silesia and, after the Second World War , to Lower Saxony. Here he first studied electrical engineering and performed on amateur stages. Due to an audition with Kurt Ehrhardt , the general manager of the Hanover State Theater at the time , Sawicki changed his career and completed an acting degree in Hanover. Stage engagements in Regensburg, Flensburg, Wiesbaden and Mainz followed. In 1971 he moved to the ensemble of the Lübeck Theater , of which he was a member until his retirement in 1998. Sawicki embodied the “Malvolio” in Shakespeare's What You Want , the “Polonius” in Hamlet or the depressed, aging actor in Tankred Dorst's Ich, Feuerbach . In 1997, on the occasion of his 65th birthday, he was made an honorary member of the Lübeck Theater. A year later he did not give his farewell performance to anyone over sixty with a production of Gunther Beths Trau . This was followed by other stage appearances such as "Garbage driver Doolittle" in My Fair Lady at the Bremen Theater . He also directed several times at the Low German Stage in Lübeck.

Sawicki was rarely seen in front of the film camera. He worked in smaller roles in feature films such as Alfred Vohrer's Puschkin adaptation and the rain blurs every trace and television films in the crime series Tatort and played guest roles in crime series such as IOB - Spezialgabe , Großstadtrevier and the early evening series Der Landarzt , in which he played the role of the Secondary character "Fritz Helgert" embodied.

Occasionally Sawicki also took on tasks in the field of dubbing , for example for the American television series Die Zeitreisenden .
