German Actor Arthur Brauss Passes Away at 89
Arthur Brauss, a quiet star of German television entertainment, has passed away at the age of 89 in Munich. His wife, Marie Pocolin-Brauss, confirmed his death to the German Press Agency.
Brauss had a career in acting that spanned over 50 years and included over 100 productions. His acting debut was in the film "Delay in Marienborn" in 1963, and he went on to appear in internationally known productions such as "The Great Escape," "Cross of Iron," and "Stalingrad" between 1963 and 2021.
Before his acting career, Brauss was a track and field athlete and became the German youth champion in pole vaulting. After completing a commercial apprenticeship, he studied mathematics and economics at the University of Wyoming, where he gained his first acting experience on the university stage.
Brauss became a beloved figure to audiences through his portrayal of police officer Richard Block in the series "Großstadtrevier," which aired on ARD's primetime lineup from 1986 to 1991. He also worked in international productions, including "Derrick" and "Commissario Laurenti."
In recent years, Brauss largely withdrew from television and public life. In his final days, he was very frail and required round-the-clock care. Brauss and his wife had been together for 50 years and quietly married last year.
Brauss starred in "The Train" in 1964 alongside Jeanne Moreau and Burt Lancaster, and in Wim Wenders' film "The Goalkeeper's Fear of the Penalty" in 1972. He appeared in various German television shows such as "Der Alte," "Munich Stories," "Polizeiruf 110," "The Black Forest Clinic," and "Großstadtrevier."
Brauss will be buried in Munich. His passing marks the end of an era for German television, and he will be fondly remembered by audiences for his memorable performances.
