Jürgen Frohriep
Jürgen Frohriep (28 April 1928 – 13 July 1993) was a German actor. After 1972 he became widely known for his role as Oberleutnant Jürgen Hübner in Polizeiruf 110, a long running television series that originated in the German Democratic Republic, but which continues to win large television audiences across Germany, following reunification.
Like many German actors, he also found work as a voice-over artist, dubbing English language films for domestic audiences: one of these jobs involved becoming the German language voice of Charlton Heston for his role in "Antony and Cleopatra".
His brother was the writer Ulrich Frohriep (who himself has written a handful of episodes of Polizeiruf 110).
Life
Jürgen Frohriep was born in the port city of Rostock. When he was 11 the war broke out, towards the end of which he was involved in national air-defence as a "Flak helper". When the war ended, in May 1945, Frohriep, by now aged 17, found that his home city had become part of the Soviet occupation zone in what remained of Germany. His school days being behind him, he took casual work in the locally based boat and fishing industries, and in farming. Fairly early on he also became involved with the FDJ (Freie Deutsche Jugend / Free German Youth) amateur theatre movement. He never received any formal training as an actor, but was nevertheless recruited in 1951 by the Friendship Theatre (as it was then called) in Berlin. By this time the soviet occupation zone had become the German Democratic Republic (GDR), formally founded in October 1949, and after his debut at the Friendship Theatre there followed a succession of stage appearances at various theatres, including those at Stralsund, Erfurt and Altenburg, across the GDR.
