  • Sister of Karl Heinrich Flickenschildt (January 24, 1910, Hamburg-Blankenese - 1987), who was married to Ingrid von Bothmer, and aunt of Hilke Flickenschildt.
  • Daughter of a sea captain.
  • Was involved in a serious car crash followed by premonitions of her impending death, which occurred fifteen days later on 27 October 1977.
  • Taught acting by Robert Nhil.
  • Red-haired, husky-voiced and sharp-featured German character actress, a preeminent figure on stage and screen from the 1930's to the 60's. Often found in cold or haughty roles, as incisive, manipulating or downright sinister characters. She made her theatrical debut in Hamburg in 1931 and appeared from 1937 to 1945 at the Deutsches Theater and the Staatstheater in Berlin. Though she acted in many films, the stage was her first love. She received several high honours late in life, being awarded a Bambi in 1967 and the Bundesverdienstkreuz for services to German culture in 1975.
