Witta Pohl(1937-2011)
- Actress
- Soundtrack
One of Germany's most popular actresses, Witta Pohl started to act on
stage before she had major success in film and television. From 1983 to
1994, she starred in the leading role as the mother in the quite
popular tv-series "Diese Drombuschs", her most memorable role. In the
early Nienties she left her career as an actress behind her and stared
to help children and established "Kinder Luftbrücke e.V.", an
organisation which arranged transports to children mostly to East
Europe. For her humanitarian work, Witta Pohl was awarded with the
Golden Camera in 1994 (an award she had already won two times before,
for her acting work) and with the Federal cross of Merit. She died from
leukemia on April 4, 2011 in Hamburg.
