Life

As the son of the silent film actress Hilde Maroff , he came to film as a child through appearances on Ilse Obrig 's children's radio . He debuted in the mid-1930s Augusto Geninas Forget me not on the side of Beniamino Gigli . Further film productions such as Max Obal's Vogelöd Castle with Walter Steinbeck and Carola Höhn , or Douglas Sirk's final chord with Willy Birgel and Maria von Tasnady established his reputation as a child star of German film. Martin Frič's Das Gäßchen zum Paradies with Hans Moser is one of his 28 or so films as a child actor . With the beginning of the war his film career came to a standstill. Bosse was persecuted for racist and ideological reasons (his mother was of Jewish descent) and was only allowed to work as an artist until 1939 with a special permit, which was then withdrawn from him.

After the end of the war and after completing his acting training, Bosse first intensified his stage career, playing on the fairy tale stage in the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm in Berlin. He then switched to radio, moderated a large number of programs for Berlin radio , including public events, and played primarily in radio plays. In addition to short film appearances in The Trial Is Postponed (1958) and The Dream of Captain Loy (1961), he mainly worked on television in the GDR , where he moderated children's programs ( How about ...? ) , And later also his own series.

In the 1990s he founded the radio station “50 plus” in Berlin, today's Spreeradio , and in addition to moderation, he also took on tasks as program director for many years. On the occasion of his 80th birthday, he was made a full honorary member of the European Culture Workshop (EKW) in Berlin for his outstanding services to culture and art.
