Walter Rosskopf
Walter Roßkopf (born February 13, 1903 in Berlin-Neukölln , † after 1986) was a German cameraman .
Live and act
Roßkopf had attended elementary school and then received training as a camera operator. In 1922 he started working as a camera assistant. Roßkopf remained in this position well into the 1930s.
In 1940 Roßkopf was hired as one of several cameramen for two National Socialist propaganda films, Stukas and Kampfgeschwader Lützow . Subsequently, until shortly before the end of the war in 1945 , he was behind the camera in several less important entertainment films that were produced by Tobis .
In 1946 it was taken over by DEFA, which had just been founded . Between 1948 and 1951 Walter Roßkopf photographed several feature films, often with tendentious content. After that he was almost only engaged for short documentaries. His last work in the 1960s included some recordings from Winfried Young's long-term documentary The Children of Golzow .
When Roßkopf, who lived in Berlin-Bohnsdorf in the early 1960s , died is currently not known. What is known, however, is that he celebrated his 83rd birthday in 1986 in the Hoffmannstrasse home in Berlin-Adlershof .
