life and work

Childhood, youth, studies

Von Praunheim was born as Holger Radtke in 1942 during the German occupation in the central prison in Riga . His birth mother Edith Radtke starved to death in a psychiatric clinic in 1946 ( Wittenauer Heilstätten Berlin). After the birth, Radtke was given up for adoption . His adoptive mother Gertrud Mischwitzky († 2003) only informed him about this in 2000, when she was 94 years old. He received knowledge of the death of his birth mother after extensive research in 2006. Von Praunheim documented his research in 2007 in the film My Mothers - Searching for Traces in Riga . The film was nominated for the Grimme Prize and was shortlisted for the German Film Prize . The actress Luzi Kryn is his aunt.

In the mid-1960s he adopted the stage name "Rosa von Praunheim", which is reminiscent of the pink angle that homosexual men had to wear in concentration camps during the Nazi era , as well as of the Praunheim district of Frankfurt , where he grew up as a teenager.

First films

In the 1960s he made his debut with experimental and short films, such as Samuel Beckett (1969), with which he soon made a name for himself.
