At the same time he was used in many television productions and worked as a speaker in numerous dubbing roles, commercials, radio plays and documentaries for almost all German television stations. The dubbing of the main role in the French cult film Man Bites Dog is considered artistically outstanding.

Jürgen wrote about 180 dubbing dialogue books and directed them himself. These include series such as Columbo , The Smurfs , Small Animals, Great Fun , Galaxy Rangers and many individual productions and movies, but also the French short film Le Tram , which has been awarded an Oscar .

In addition, Jürgen was twice “star guest” in Hans-Joachim Kulenkampff's TV show One will win . At the end of the 1980s he withdrew from the theater with Schiller's Don Carlos and a guest appearance in Gegen den Wind vom TV to work only as a director, author, speaker and producer.

He also worked in readings of Mozart letters with Justus Frantz in the Hamburg Music Hall (today Laeiszhalle), poetry readings in churches, halls and theaters, e.g. B. at the Feuchtwangen Festival and was also the moderator of talk evenings and other events.
