After attending the theater college in Leipzig, he got stage engagements in Plauen, Zwickau, Altenburg, Erfurt and at the German National Theater in Weimar. This was followed by a long period of freelance work until Walter Felsenstein brought him to the Komische Oper Berlin in 1975 . He played several leading roles for GDR television and in front of the camera for children's productions. He became known above all with the Moritzburg television theater in an episode of the " Ferienheim Bergkristall " series, with several comedies and swans and through close collaboration with Hans-Joachim Preil , whom he accompanied as a stage partner on around 470 evenings together.
