Life

Ulrich Schamoni was born into a film family. His father Victor Schamoni was, among other things, a director and film scholar, his mother Maria a scriptwriter. The father died in 1942 in World War II . Ulrich and his three brothers Thomas , Victor and Peter were evacuated with their mother in 1944 to Iserlohn , where Maria Schamoni's mother lived. After the end of the war, Schamoni attended the Archbishop's Convict for two years in Werl . From this time onwards, Schamoni's uncle Wilhelm Schamoni became a father substitute for him and his brothers. Ulrich Schamoni portrayed him in 1982 in the television film Der Vikar von Helmeringhausen or What good is it for eternity . The family later moved to Münster , where Schamoni attended grammar school. After dropping out of high school shortly before graduating from high school in 1957, Schamoni went to Munich , briefly attended Ruth von Zerboni's drama school and then returned to Berlin. Here he worked from 1959 to 1964 as an assistant director , among others with Hans Lietzau and Wilhelm Dieterle and above all his "director's father" Rudolf Noelte , from whom he said he learned the most. At the age of 20, Schamoni wrote his novel Your son sends greetings , which was immediately indexed as harmful to young people after it was published in 1962 .

Schamoni made his first short film as a director in 1964: the documentary film Hollywood in Deblatschka Pescara , which was released in 1965, was awarded a Federal Film Prize in 1965. With a bit of luck and a bit of luck , another documentary followed in 1965. Schamoni also directed his first feature film Es in 1965 , which explores the relationship crisis of an unmarried young couple ( Sabine Sinjen , Bruno Dietrich ). The film was a success with critics and audiences and in 1966 won a total of five federal film awards. Three others and the “ Silver Bear ” from the Berlin Film Festival in 1967 went to Alle Jahre again in 1967 , Schamoni's ironic reckoning with the bourgeois double standard of his former adopted home of Münster. In 1967 he used the proceeds from Es to buy a single-family house at 19 Furtwänglerstraße in Berlin. It became his residence and also his place of work. In 1968 he followed up with a funny portrait of the left-wing alternative Berlin culture and student scene with a quartet in bed .

Schamoni's grave in Berlin

With his films, which are new in terms of both content and form, Ulrich Schamoni established himself - like his brother Peter - as a leading representative of the New German Cinema . Schamoni wanted to tackle German commercial cinema with his films and campaigned for a new realism in cinema. From 1978 he also produced films for German television. Schamoni later turned away from film and became a media entrepreneur. In 1987 he founded the second private Berlin radio station Hundert, 6 , followed in 1992 by the first local television station IA TV , where he also had a daily commentary. He later left both companies.

Ulrich Schamoni died of leukemia on March 9, 1998 in Berlin and was buried in the forest cemetery in Zehlendorf in field 039-679.

On March 15, 2012, the documentary film Farewell to the Frogs about Schamoni's life was shown in German cinemas . This was made by his daughter Ulrike on the basis of his personal film diaries and shows Ulrich Schamoni even during his illness.
