Life

Stromberger attended the old secondary school in Darmstadt (today: Georg-Büchner-Schule ) and trained as an actor. He had his first stage engagements from 1951 to 1956 at the stages in Rendsburg , Frankfurt am Main and Darmstadt. As a playwright, he first wrote dialect folk pieces for the Hessian radio, in particular the series Bei uns dehaam - From the life of a Hessian family (24 episodes, 1962–1966), which he also directed. For years he staged the Darmstadt local posse Datterich by Ernst Elias Niebergall at the Darmstadt State Theater with the Hessian Spielgemeinschaft, and played the leading role in it as the successor to Joseph Offenbach .

Stromberger's daughter Iris Stromberger , who was also born in Darmstadt, made a name for herself as a theater actress and chansonette . His grandson Fabian Stromberger is also an actor.

Filmmaking

A television series of the same name later emerged from his third play The Despicable One (1956). The seven episodes about the fictional Berlin family Scholz with Inge Meysel and Joseph Offenbach , which were made for NDR between 1965 and 1971, now form a piece of German television history.

Many of his books were later filmed by ZDF, among others - such as the series PS - Stories about the Car , as well as the socially critical multi-part Death of a Schoolboy , who dealt with the suicide of a high school graduate and was a great success with critics and audiences in 1981 the family series These Drombuschs (1983–1994). The latter achieved audience ratings of over 50 percent at times. In 1995 he wrote the screenplay for the multi-part series Tödliche Wahl with Jürgen Prochnow , Günther Maria Halmer , Anja Kling and Dominique Horwitz .
