-*'''RISSE, Carl-Hermann''' 1942, Dresden, Saxony, Germany - 10/19/2022, Berlin, Berlin, Germany
-Born in Dresden in 1942, Carl-Hermann Risse unconsciously experienced the horrors of war and later chose a profession that was needed at the time: bricklayer. At the age of twenty he changed his saddle and trained at the Dresden Acting Studio, got his first engagements in Stendal and Schwerin, before he won the big ticket in the Theater Lotto and was engaged at the Volksbühne in 1968, one year before Benno Besson took over the house first as artistic director and then as artistic director. Risse appeared in one Euro-western 1979’s “Blue Bird”.
