Willy Harlander
Willy Harlander (born April 30, 1931 in Regensburg , † April 20, 2000 in Munich ) was a German actor who was best known for his roles as a Bavarian folk actor . He embodied rather quiet, sensitive and slightly offended characters.
Life
Willy Harlander was the son of a gravedigger and a cook. As a teenager he sang in the choir of the Regensburger Domspatzen . In order to comply with the father's request, he went to the riot police . Then he completed an apprenticeship as a carpenter and organ builder. But Harlander has always been drawn to the stage, and he became a member of the Regensburg student cabaret. In the mid-1950s he moved to Munich , where, after some hesitation, Ludwig Schmid-Wildy hired him for the Platzl . There he was completely unknown and had to make do with insignificant supporting roles for years.
As for many other actors such as Gustl Bayrhammer and Max Grießer , who, unlike him, had a classical theater education, Willy Harlander's great time began with the comedy nobility of Bavarian Broadcasting at the beginning of the 1960s. In 1960 he also had the opportunity to work in a French war film and in two comedies at the Millowitsch Theater . His final breakthrough came in 1973 with the multiple award-winning film Man Adam Deigl and the Authority , in which he played his first demanding Bavarian character role. Numerous appearances in feature films and TV series followed, including Meister Eder and his Pumuckl , Royal Bavarian District Court and Café Perjury , but also several sex strips in the 1970s. For 14 years, Harlander went on a murder hunt alongside Gustl Bayrhammer and Helmut Fischer in the Munich version of Tatort .
After the death of his first wife Christl Höck in 1968, the actor married the singer Erika Blumberger, with whom he also stood in front of the camera several times. In 1989, the couple starred alongside Marianne Sägebrecht in the Percy Adlon film Rosalie Goes Shopping . In 1981 Willy Harlander appeared in the film Lili Marleen by Rainer Werner Fassbinder , and in 1992 in the hit comedy Schtonk! by Helmut Dietl . In 1993, the close friend and colleague Gustl Bayrhammer died and Harlander took over his role with a heavy heart as Petrus in the long-running The Brandner Kaspar and the eternal life at the Munich Residenztheater .
Willy Harlander, who was on television ( Forsthaus Falkenau ) and on stage to the end, died unexpectedly of a heart attack in April 2000 while walking his dachshund in the Perlacher Forest near Munich . A jogger eventually discovered Harlander dead on a forest path. He was buried in the Perlach cemetery in Munich (grave no. 16-1-49).
