Munich - a piece of the perfect
world has died with her.
The "Black Forest Girl" made Sonja Ziemann the first cinema star in the young Federal Republic in 1950. It was the first home grown film, it was the first post-war film to be shot in color.
Monday, the woman who made the Black Forest Bollenhut world famous, died in a retirement home in Munich, Sonja Ziemann had just turned 94.
Her own world was not as healthy as on the screen, her second husband, the Polish writer Marek Hłasko († 34), died shortly after their divorce in 1969 from an overdose of sleeping pills.

Pierre, her son from her first
marriage, died of a spinal cord tumor in 1970 at the age of 16. Her third
husband, actor Charles Regnier (87, "The Will of Dr. Mabuse") died in
2001 of a stroke.
"My friends kept catching me after all these
blows of fate. But in the end the soul cannot be repaired," said
Ziemann once in an interview.
Ziemann was able to do more than home grown films (she dropped out of school at the age of 14 to start dancing). In 1959 she played in the famous war film "Hunde, wollt ihr ewig leben". The daughter of a tax consultant had also made a name for herself internationally.

In 1969 she played alongside Keir Dullea (84) and
Lilli Palmer († 72) in "The Prolonged Life of the Marquis de Sade".
In 1997 she gave up acting, in
2006 she was once again a guest of Ziemann on Reinhold Beckmann's ARD talk
show.
No exact information is known about the
circumstances of her death. A staff member of the senior citizen's center
in which the actress last lived told BILD: "We can't say anything about
that."
Her former agent Verena Nielsen told BILD: "At the end of her life, she totally retired. Her hearing was bad, but she tried anyway to enjoy her retirement. A young man took care of her."
