Lisa Kreuzer

Actor

Lisa Kreuzer, born on December 2, 1945, in Hof (Bavaria), is a distinguished German actress with an impressive film and television career. She became known for her collaboration with Wim Wenders in the early films of the New German Cinema era, including Alice in the Cities (1974, directed by Wim Wenders), The Wrong Move (1975, directed by Wim Wenders) and The American Friend (1977, directed by Wim Wenders), as well as for her role in The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014, directed by Wes Anderson), in which she played a grande dame. A particular highlight is the cult film NIE WIEDER SCHLAFEN – NIE MEHR ZURÜCK (1992, directed by Pia Frankenberg). In it, Lisa Kreuzer, Gabi Herz, and Christiane Carstens play three friends who, after a wedding celebration on a riverboat on the Spree, wander aimlessly through reunified Berlin—a poetic road movie about friendship, alienation, and urban upheaval. Lisa Kreuzer is a regular presence on television, for example in series such as Dark (2017–2020). Roles in crime dramas such as Derrick, Tatort, and Der Alte are also part of her extensive repertoire. She is a multifaceted artist whose work ranges from early New German Cinema to modern series – always characterized by authenticity, emotional depth, and cultural diversity.
