In the cinema, Willy Rösner's domain became the Heimatfilm set in Bavaria , where he repeatedly played cold-hearted, calculating countrymen whose egoism stood in the way of the happiness of others. In the historical film Ludwig II - the splendor and misery of a king about the fairy tale king portrayed by OW Fischer , he formed his opponent as Johann von Lutz , Chairman of the Council of Ministers .
