Life

After high school and banking apprenticeship, he studied law at the Free University of Berlin from autumn 1962 and passed both state exams, the second with distinction. From 1969 Roloff-Momin was a member of the FDP. After the FDP had formed a coalition with the CDU / CSU at federal level in 1982 , he left the FDP in 1983. From 1975 to 1977 he was a member of the Berlin House of Representatives, where he was chairman of the newly established Art Committee. In November 1977 he was elected President of the Berlin University of the Arts and confirmed in office in 1984 and 1989. Until 1991 he was president of the New Society for Fine Arts for many years.

In January 1991 he became the Berlin House of Representatives as a non-party, but for the SPD nominated Senator for Cultural Affairs in the Berlin Senate voted. He appointed Daniel Barenboim as artistic director and general music director at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden , Thomas Langhoff as artistic director at the Deutsches Theater , Frank Castorf at the Volksbühne and Manuel Schöbel at the then Theater der Freund, later carrousel Theater an der Parkaue (now Theater an der Parkaue ), kept the artistic director of the Maxim-Gorki-Theater , Albert Hetterle , in office against considerable political resistance.

Roloff-Momin created the political prerequisites for the unification of the Academy of Arts of the former GDR with the Berlin Academy of the Arts, transformed the “ Topography of Terror ” into the legal form of an independent foundation, and created the political prerequisites for the establishment of the Berlin / Brandenburg Film Board and bought Marlene Dietrich's estate for the Berlin Film Museum . Another highlight of his tenure was the wrapping of the Reichstag building by the action artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude in June 1995, which attracted around 4.5 million people.

The closings of the legendary Schiller Theater and especially the Metropol Theater  - the world's only German-language repertoire operetta stage - were among the downsides of his tenure.

After the parliamentary elections on October 22, 1995 , he was no longer nominated by the SPD and withdrew from politics.

Roloff-Momin lives and works in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Berlin , has been married to Christine Fischer-Defoy for the third time since 1993 and has two children.
