Stuntman, Winnetou und Störtebeker
Spannend, rasant – ein Leben voller Action Was für ein Leben! In dem aus einem Tiefbautechniker ein Stuntman wird, der es bis zum Weltmeister seiner Branche schaff t. Der in zahlreichen Filmen und Fernsehserien mitwirkt. Und dem es dann als Theaterintendant gelingt, nicht nur für viele Jahre einen Weltstar wie Pierre Brice in die vermeintliche Provinz zu ziehen, sondern auch Hundertausende Zuschauer:innen. Dieses Buch erzählt spannend und abwechslungsreich von einem Leben, das erst wie viele in den unruhigen Zeiten nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg beginnt: mit Vertreibung und Neuanfang, mit Schule und Ausbildung, mit „normaler“ Arbeit. Und das bald rasant Fahrt aufnimmt. Erst in der DDR, dann – nach gescheitertem Fluchtversuch und eineinhalb Jahren Gefängnis – im Westen. Um schließlich nach der deutschen Vereinigung zurück in Osten zu führen, in ein neues, sehr großes Abenteuer: der Wiederbelebung der Störtebeker-Festspiele auf Deutschlands schönster Freilichtbühne, in Ralswiek auf Rügen.
