Swiss Actor Benedict Freitag Passes Away at 72

Swiss theater and film actor Benedict Freitag, who was in a relationship with German singer Nena from 1987 to 1992, passed away on August 15 at the age of 72. His daughter, Larissa Kerner, announced his death three weeks later in an emotional Instagram post.

Freitag gained international experience through stays in the USA, Canada, and the Netherlands. He began his acting career in 1980 and was artistically active in the Netherlands. One of his notable roles was in the popular crime series "Tatort."

Nena, who was with Freitag from 1987 to 1992, has not yet publicly commented on his death. However, she shared several black-and-white photos from 1989, a time when she was with Freitag, on her social media following Larissa's Instagram post.

Larissa Kerner, a musician like her mother, pondered the philosophical question: "Aren't our parents immortal?" in her Instagram post. The post includes a series of old photos of her father and offers deep insights into her grief. She remembered shared experiences with her father, including trips, theater evenings, stories, and songs he sang for her.

Cooking was a passion of Freitag, according to Larissa Kerner. She says she doesn't know anyone who didn't appreciate his food. Tragically, the family suffered a loss early on when their eldest son, Christopher, passed away at the age of eleven months due to oxygen deprivation at birth.

Larissa Kerner described her emotional state after her father's death as experiencing pain, grief, and letting go in waves, interspersed with laughter and tasks. She remembers the love and support she received from her father throughout her life.

Freitag and Larissa Kerner had three children together: twins Larissa and Sakias, and their eldest son Christopher. The family's bond was evident in Larissa Kerner's Instagram post, which resonated with many who mourned the loss of this talented actor.

Nena and Freitag had three children together during their relationship. The exact details of their separation are not publicly known. However, their impact on each other's lives and careers remains evident in the memories shared by their children and the art they created together.
