Bruno Ganz

Actor
The Swiss actor Bruno Ganz (1941–2019) was one of the most influential performers in European cinema and theatre. His career, which began on the stage, led to significant collaborations with filmmakers like Wim Wenders, for example in "Wings of Desire" (1987). He gained particular international fame for his portrayal of Adolf Hitler in "Downfall" (2004), a role that earned him widespread acclaim.

From 1996 until his death, Ganz was also the holder of the Iffland-Ring, an award passed on testamentarily to the most significant stage actor in the German-speaking world.
