Life

Wolfgang Schneider was originally a theater actor . His theater stations included Bremen (Theater am Goetheplatz), Stuttgart (Württembergisches Staatstheater), Bochum (Schauspielhaus Bochum, Bochumer Kammerspiele) and Berlin (Berliner Ensemble). He was a permanent member of the ensemble at Theater Bremen in the mid / late sixties . In Bremen he was involved in several productions by Peter Zadek , a. a. in Die Unberatenen by Thomas Valentin (1965), Die Räuber (1966; as a scooter) and in the measure for measure staging (season 1967/68 as a duke with the name "Frau Meier"; next to Edith Clever as Isabella). With Zadek's Maß für Maß staging, Schneider also made a guest appearance at the Berlin Theatertreffen in 1968 . In the 1969/70 season he took on the role of the air spirit Ariel in Klaus Michael Grüber's production of Shakespeare's late work Der Sturm at the Bremen Theater .

At the Schauspiel Stuttgart he appeared in the 1970/71 season as center forward Harry Heegan in Peter Zadek's production of the play Der Pott (original title: The Prize Cup ) by Seán O'Casey ; with this production he also made a guest appearance at the Berlin Theatertreffen in 1971. He also played Korl in the Stuttgart premiere of the Fleißer play Pioneers in Ingolstadt at the Schauspiel Stuttgart in the 1970/71 season , alongside Marlen Diekhoff as Alma.

In the early 1970s, Schneider moved to the Bochum Schauspielhaus together with Zadek . In the 1972/73 season he appeared there as Luther in DH Lawrence ’s play The Daughter- in-Law. In 1973 he took on the title role in Kurt Weill's anti-war musical Johnny Johnson . In the 1975/76 season he played the role of alto in a new production of Ferdinand Bruckner's play Illness of Youth at the Bochumer Kammerspiele . In 1982 he played the accountant Gråberg in Ibsen's play Die Wildente at the Landesbühne Hannover .

At the end of the 1960s, Schneider came to film through Zadek, where he had a short career. Under Zadek's direction, he played the male lead in his first film Ich bin ein Elefant, Madame (1969); he embodied the "rebellious" and "rebellious" student Rull, who tried to break the authoritarian structures at the old grammar school in Bremen . For his portrayal, Schneider was awarded the Federal Film Prize in 1969 as "Best Young Actor".

In Alfred Vohrer's feature film Herzblatt or How do I tell my daughter? (1969) he played one of the three sons of the building contractor Max, who are each selected as applicants for the innocent "Herzblatt" ( Mascha Gonska ). Some more work for television followed . In the ZDF crime series Der Kommissar, he played a leading role in episode no. 31 (first broadcast: February 1971); he played Bigge, an apprentice tailor who worked for the Stoltze fashion salon. He had a leading role in the 1972 (January – May 1972) television series The Melchiors ; in it he played Eric Melchior, one of the two sons of a Lübeck businessman.

The Filmdatendank IMDb wrongly assigns the actor W. Schneider to the participation as a director and screenwriter in some privately financed documentary films for media educational use from the years 1975 to 1982.

Nothing was publicly known about Schneider's further life, especially from the 1980s. However, he was still artistically active. In 1994, while Zadek was co-director, he played at the Berliner Ensemble in a touring version of Peter Zadek's production of the Brecht play Der Jasager und der Neinsager . In September 1994, in an unusual season opening by the Berliner Ensemble, he appeared alongside Knut Koch and Elisabeth Ebeling in a production by Zadek's then assistant Elisabeth Gabriel as fire chief in a production of Eugène Ionesco's play The Bald Singer in the Naase country inn in Gröben (Brandenburg) on.
