For decades he made people laugh in German-speaking countries, now he’s breaking his slogans in heaven: German comedian and actor Karl Dall has died at age 79, the German press agency DPA said, citing statements from his family.
On November 11, the comedian was treated at his apartment in the northern German city of Lüneburg on suspicion of a cerebral hemorrhage stroke and later received medical attention. An incident from which he never recovered.
Fell asleep peacefully
Despite the use of all the intensive technological and medical measures, today he fell asleep peacefully without having regained consciousness beforehand. Leave a wife, daughter and granddaughter », his relatives write. “He was not only a popular comedian and entertainer, but most of all, an exceptionally lovable and personable person.”
Dall had taken on the role of old rock star Richie Sky on the ARD daily series “Rote Rosen” since early November. Filming was interrupted after his stroke.
Dumbbard and joke king
He was one of the greatest, but also most controversial comedians in Germany: after completing his apprenticeship as a typographer, Dall began his career with the humorous anarchist group Insterburg & Co. He was quickly drawn to television, where he helped Rudi Carrells ( 934-2006) “Churning Out” and in Kurt Felix (1941-2012) “Do you get the fun?” He made jokes on the phone.
He later moderated television talk shows like The King of Pranks, hit the charts with stupid hits like “This record is a hit” and “Millions of women love me” and was on camera as an actor in mostly minor roles for various comedies. The animator has not had his own television program for a long time, such as the formats “Dall-As” (1985-1991 on RTL) and “Jux und Dallerei” (1992-1994 on Saturday 1st).
I wanted a great comeback
“I no longer believe in a new television career, but I would like to show again what I am capable of,” he said shortly before his 76th birthday. “It’s just that, aside from Dieter Hallervorden, who enviably came out of the stupid corner, hardly any of us old comedians have this chance.”
He himself received offers for “Celebrity Big Brother” and the jungle TV camp, “hoping that I will drop my pants there,” Dall said a few years ago. “But even if they offered me a lot of money for it, I’d rather clean the toilets. Last but not least, my wife Barbara threatened to leave me if I ever participated in something like this. “The couple married in 1971 and had a daughter Janina (46), who made a career as a stunt double.
2014 before the Zurich District Court
In Switzerland, Dall caused a sensation in 2014 when he had to answer to the Zurich District Court. Solothurn journalist Anja-Maria Stampfli (49) accused him of rape and attempted coercion. Dall had always denied the accusations. He was the victim of a stalker and his psychological problems, he claimed. Due to the lack of evidence, the authorities acquitted the Germans.
With Karl Dall, the German comedy scene has lost one of its biggest front men. “I am proud of how lucky I was to be able to assert myself in this industry,” said the comedian, who was honored with the German Comedy Award for his life’s work. “I am less proud of my failed completion certificates, I am not a role model in that. But you can’t have it all. “And even if he stopped traveling after 50 years, he didn’t want to retire, he wrote on his home page.” Goodbye? No, there is no end in sight! “(man / imh / sda)
