It is the tragedy of the great actor, is, perhaps, again and again, like Hans Korte was without a doubt a: to provide decades of brilliant work on stage, but to stay out of the TV since then, in memory. For example, “The king of St. Pauli”. In Dieter Wedel’s mini-series from the nineties, Korte played the grey Eminence of the Hamburg entertainment district. A rather inconspicuous Type, but strongly in the presentation. Quickly was forgotten that actually, the much more popular, Günter Strack was intended for this role, not the man with the thick-rimmed glasses.
Or the pensioners-Saga “der große bellheim”, also by Wedel in. Here, you experienced escort alongside Mario Adorf in his special role as the lovable grumbling character, which led him, later on, in shallow TV series. For “The big Bellheim” he received the Adolf-Grimme-award. The native of Bochum was also Evil, he showed as a senior group leader in the Fallada adaptation of “Everyone dies alone”, or as Heinrich Himmler in the concentration camp commander-portrait “From a German life”.
Hans Kortes love was the theatre, where the hobby-historians were content to just stand on the stage. He also served as conductor and Opera Director. He played Mephisto in Goethe’s “Faust”, the village judge Adam in “der zerbrochne Krug”, Galy Gay in Bertolt Brecht’s “man is man”, or Peachum in “three penny Opera”. And he audio books, with a precise voice, which he could modulate excellently – for example, in the case of Patrick süskind’s best-selling novel “The perfume”. Now Hans Korte has died at the age of 87 years, on 25. September, as a friend of the family confirmed a report of the “süddeutsche Zeitung”. Last Sunday, Korte was buried. In all the silence, was announced by his widow in a mourning display.
