Joachim Teege

Joachim Teege (November 30, 1925 – November 19, 1969)[1] was a German character actor.

Early life and career

Teege was born in Spremberg and educated in Berlin.[2]

In 1963, Teege co-starred with Lola Müthel in well-received production of Carl Sternheim's little seen play, The Nebbich, at the Schauspiel Frankfurt.[3] The following year, he starred in a revival of Arthur Watkyn's comedy thriller, Out of Bounds, staged by Otto Tausig at the Theater am Kurfuerstendam in Berlin, where it was deemed "currently the best boulevard piece around here" by Variety reviewer Hans Hoehn.[4] Not quite four months later, that same critic dubbed Teege the city's "Best Actor [of] 1964" for this performance.[5]

Death

On November 19, 1969, Teege died in a Munich hospital. He was survived by his wife.[2]
