Manfred Krug

Manfred Krug (8.2.1937-21.10.2016) was an acting star with an all-German presence and popularity. With his masculine, gruff, direct characters, Krug became an audience favourite and is one of the most popular actors in German film and television history. (...) Krug belongs to a bohemian group in eastern Berlin that is committed to an art that is not guided by the idea of socialist realism and does not limit itself out of a false understanding. The encounters with the directors Frank Beyer and Ralf Kirsten were decisive for Krug.
