September 29, 2024. The actor Klaus Manche has died. This is reported by the Berliner Zeitung. Manchen, born in Breslau in 1936, was a member of the ensemble of Berlin's Maxim Gorki Theater from 1965 to 2002. In addition, he was a well-known film and television actor - most recently in Rostock's Polizeiruf 110, where he played the not entirely law-abiding father of Inspector Buckow (Charlie Hübner).

Growing up in Berlin after the war, Manche trained as an actor at the State Drama School in Berlin-Schöneweide (today's HfS Ernst Busch). He worked with directors such as Fritz Bornemann, Horst Schönemann, Albert Hetterle, Wolfgang Heinz and Thomas Langhoff, in whose legendary production "Transitional Society" (1987) he participated. He also appeared in Defa classics such as "Ich war 19" by Konrad Wolf (1969) or Thomas Langhoff's Thomas Mann film adaptation "Lotte in Weimar" (1975). Even after 1989, he remained a sought-after film actor and worked with directors such as Dominik Graf, Matti Geschonnek and Max Färberböck.

Klaus Manche died at the age of 87 on September 27, 2024, in Dahlwitz-Hoppegarten near Berlin.
