About
The first and only authorized biography of Jan Fedder - with unpublished exclusive photos and interviews
»I've lived and experienced everything. I have satisfied all my longings and I do not miss anything. Because what is left of a person? His bones. And his stories. «Jan Fedder
Jan Fedder: direct, straight, honest, not a diplomat, but with a big heart for the people - like no other he embodied THE Hamburger par excellence. He died on December 30th, 2019.
Jan Fedder was not only a great actor, but above all a great person, one of the really great ones who will never be there again. He played Dirk Matthies in the ARD series »Großstadtrevier«, the farmer Kurt Brakelmann in »Neues aus Büttenwarder«. Memorable roles as boatswain Pilgrim in the film "Das Boot" and in the Siegfried Lenz film adaptations "Der Mann im Strom" and "Das Feuerschiff" show him as an actor of more serious characters. But despite all the successes, Jan Fedder said of himself: "My main job is a person - in my part-time job I'm an actor."
Now Tim Pröse tells the life of this unique man. Shortly before his death, Jan Fedder received the completed manuscript, peppered with many quotations - the authorized biography in which Jan Fedder himself, his wife Marion, friends and companions talk about him, tell the story of his life - in full length, with all of them beautiful and jubilant as well as wistful and sad chapters. He stands upright and straight in front of us! One can only learn from someone like him ...
