The son of a physician, Günther Schramm spent his early childhood in Stettin, Pomerania, but was schooled in Hamburg when his family moved there after the war. He had a brother who was also in the medical profession and sisters who married doctors. His matriculation completed, Schramm found a job as a forest ranger's assistant, but soon decided on giving the acting profession a go. Between 1950 and 1951, he studied for a year at the State College of Music and Performing Arts in Hamburg, and, the following year, joined the literary cabaret troupe Die Buchfinken, which he also co-founded. Though successful, the organisation disbanded in 1957, but, by that time, Schramm had already been engaged by the renowned Thalia Theater as an ensemble member.
Schramm made his cinematic debut in 1955 as a ship's cadet in a German TV version of the sinking of the Titanic. Only occasionally employed in mainstream movies as a supporting actor, he was focused from the start on a career in television. His road to success came via guest roles, notably in the spy series Die fünfte Kolonne (1963) and in the three-part miniseries Verräter (1967). He starred in the drama series Algebra um acht (1972) as an academic counselor for adult students and then hit the big time as the resourceful Detective Walter Grabert in the long-running crime series Der Kommissar (1969). Alongside co-stars Erik Ode and Reinhard Glemnitz, Schramm collected five Bambi Awards (1970, 1971, 1972, 1973 and 1975) and became one of Germany's most popular TV actors of the era. Portraying amiable, erudite, sympathetic, often pipe-smoking gents (he was Germany's 'Pipe Smoker of the Year' in 1974) contributed greatly to that popularity.
Beginning in the early 70s, Schramm tried his hand first as a panellist (in Dalli Dalli (1971)) and, subsequently, as moderator/host of musical TV quiz shows like Erkennen Sie die Melodie? (1969) and Quiz As - Musik zum Raten (1985). He also did voice-over work, dubbing for, among others, Efrem Zimbalist Jr. (in 77 Sunset Strip (1958)), Lloyd Bochner, Dick Van Dyke and Alec McCowen. By the mid-90s, he was back acting on screen, starring opposite Nadja Tiller in the comedy Holstein Lovers (1999), as an elderly aristocrat in the romantic melodrama Sehnsucht nach Sandin (2002) and in a host of other TV productions. In 2007, Schramm replaced Christian Wolff as one of the principals in the popular family saga Forsthaus Falkenau (1989), racking up 97 episodic credits until 2013.
Schramm has been married since 1958 to the actress Gudrun Thielemann. Their union produced a son (he also has a daughter from his previous marriage). The family made their home on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, from 1982 to 2001, with Schramm regularly commuting to and from Canada for screen assignments. Since then, the family has returned to Germany, residing in the well-to-do township of Grünwald, south of Munich.- Actress

Complete with waxed moustache and monocle, bald, straight-backed Hubert von Meyerinck looked every inch a poster boy for Prussian militarism. A practised condescension and raspy, sometimes shrill delivery further added to this image. In fact, his grandfather had been a commanding general and his father an army major and landowner. "Hubsie" himself was supposedly destined for a career in the clergy. When he began to take acting classes, it was much to the chagrin of his conservative parents. Invalided out of military service in World War I due to a lung condition, he made his theatrical bow in Berlin in 1917. Following that, he spent two years at the Hamburg Kammerspiele (1918-20) before returning to Berlin for engagements on the legitimate stage and in cabaret, famously partnering an as yet 'undiscovered' Marlene Dietrich in the 1927 revue "Es liegt was in der Luft". He also enhanced his theatrical reputation with prominent roles as Mephisto in "Faust" and as Mack the Knife in Brecht's "Threepenny Opera".
On the rare occasions he played the outright villain, "Hubsie" could be genuinely menacing. However, more often then not, the German cinema's busiest character actor used undeniable comic talent to parody his image and appearance. Audiences loved him as oily swindlers, impoverished aristocrats out to marry for money, bigamists, effete movie folk or obtuse officials. Despite at times overplaying his outrageous personae, he improved many a lesser picture by his quirky, scene-stealing antics. A shortlist of his more memorable efforts should include Die verliebte Firma (1932), When Love Sets the Fashion (1932), Bel Ami (1939), Der tolle Bomberg (1957), Ein Mann geht durch die Wand (1959), The Haunted Castle (1960) and Billy Wilder's madcap farce One, Two, Three (1961). Between 1965 and 1969, "Hubsie" was given carte blanche to do his shtick as bumbling "Clouseau"-like Scotland Yard chief Sir Arthur in five enjoyably campy Edgar Wallace crime thrillers. He also continued to augment his prolific screen acting portfolio (294 appearances!) with frequent returns to the stage, his last being as ensemble member of the Thalia Theater in Hamburg from 1966 until his death from pneumonia in May 1971.- Writer
