Walter Bockmayer
Walter Bockmayer was born in Pirmasens in 1951. After making a number of films in the 1970s, the author and director founded his first theatre (Theater in der Filmdose) in Cologne in 1984. There he worked with comic actors who became well known in German TV comedy shows. In the 1990s, he founded two further theatres for his plays – hilarious, popular travesties of well-known works - written in the Cologne dialect. Bockmayer died in Cologne in 2014.
