Life

Urs Hess was the second son of the Swiss film actor Emil Hess (1889–1945) and his German wife Elisabeth Ellinghaus. Until the end of the Second World War he lived in Berlin with his parents, the two brothers Wolfgang (1937-2016), later a well-known voice actor, and Migg Hess, as well as his half-sister Ruth Bussmann. Then the family was evacuated to Leutasch in Tyrol . They came to Switzerland in the last days of the war. Urs was almost five years old when his father died of an infection immediately after arriving in Zurich.

The fatherless family took up residence in the university quarter in Zurich, in the vicinity of other emigrated, German-speaking actors who had found a platform on the only open stage in Europe. The mother later took over the hotel "Mon Repos" on Universitätsstrasse, where actors and students went in and out. During this time, Urs Hess followed in his father's footsteps and became a youth actor. He sometimes appeared in films with his brother Migg, with Romy Schneider : Robinson shouldn't die , Therese Giehse : Father needs a wife , Liselotte Pulver : Have sun in my heart . He played the Tell-Bub at the Schauspielhaus Zürich and performed with Ernst Ginsberg , among others . After finishing school at the literary high school and graduating from high school in 1960, he studied medicine at the University of Zurich. In 1968 he passed the federal and American state exams in medicine. He then conducted research in Zurich in the field of experimental medicine and parasite immunology.

After a scientific assignment in 1976 in Moshi / Tanzania at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro , supported by the Swiss National Fund, he decided to take on a long-term position. There he was able to use his abilities as a pioneer and tinkerer to the full and prove his independent way of thinking. With the support of Swiss development aid, he set up an immunological laboratory to diagnose parasitic diseases, tuberculosis and the newly discovered AIDS infection. In addition, he led field projects in the fight against malaria and schistosomiasis . In 1978 he married Annelies Fröhlich, who worked for many years in Moshi. His daughter Simone was born in 1979 in Moshi and his son Andreas was born in 1982. In 1989 the family returned to Switzerland. He commuted from Zurich to his new position at the Federal Office of Public Health in Bern , where he was responsible for immunobiological products. The family moved to Münsingen in the canton of Bern , where the children completed their vocational training.

Urs Hess obtained two specialist titles: FAMH for laboratory medicine. and FMH for Pharmaceutical Medicine In 2005 he retired.

Urs Hess fell ill in November 2012. He died on May 27, 2013 at home in Münsingen, being looked after by his family. His grave is in the Münsingen cemetery.
