Robert Stromberger was born in Darmstadt in 1930 and worked as an actor before he began writing folk plays in the Hessian dialect in 1953. He had a big success in 1956 with the play Sie können's nicht lassen which was later turned into a film. Since the 1960s, Stromberger predominantly worked as a script writer for television, occasionally also as a director.
