Biography

Daughter of Viennese comedian Josef Matras

Because her parents separated and her mother went to Munich to play leading roles at the theater, Pepi Glöckner-Kramer was educated at a boarding school.

Pepi Glöckner-Kramer was able to continue her career after the war both on stage and in movies.

The actress Pepi Kramer-Glöckner was born as Josefine Albertine Matras in Berlin. Her father was the comedian Josef Matras, her mother the stage actress Bertha Glöckner. So it is no surprise that Pepi Glöckner-Kramer chose the profession of an actress as well.

Her husband, the actor Leopold Kramer was prohibited to continue to work as an actor because of his Jewish ancestry. He was able to avoid a deportation but was condemned to passiveness. Four years later he died from a perforation of the stomach.
