As usual, Kroetz responds to the first request with a reprimand. Whether you can conduct an interview for the premiere of your play is the content of the mail. His prompt reply: The piece has been running for a long time! The 75-year-old dramatist probably forgot that two Kroetz stories were being played at the Residenztheater. But with so many things that Kroetz wrote and played in his life, it’s easy to lose track. “Agnes Bernauer” and “Der Drang” are about the hardships and twists and turns of life. And Kroetz is familiar with them.
What was planned as a premiere talk is then of course included during a visit to Kroetz Haus in Obermenzing for a look back at 75 years of writers, actors and desperate people (SZ Plus), Corona side swipes. And everything in the usual juicy street language of the “Baby Shimmerless” actor. The reporter and playwright have known each other for fifteen years from various premieres and previous interviews, which has two advantages. When Kroetz writes that one should definitely pack slippers because no cleaning lady would be coming for the next few months, the reporter knows how seriously this request is to be taken (moderately seriously). And because the 75-year-old has always felt that he has been presented correctly in the past (but was also able to criticize an unimportant filler word in one of his quotes), he speaks uninhibitedly about all his topics. Death, Sex, Fame and Alcohol.
Self-insulting and self-reconciliation alternate until you arrive at a glass of whiskey at lunchtime, where Kroetz continues to vacillate between the energy of a theater star and the slackness of someone weary of life. Of course he also acts and flirts from time to time, about vanity, frailty and shame, but in an almost uncrotchly lovable way.

Election of the Greens Anna Hanusch as building officer failed The CSU had objected to the qualification of the Greens parliamentary group leader. The government of Upper Bavaria is now demanding an advertisement – because a formally more suitable candidate could be found. Now the camps are arguing about two more candidates.
Storm Ylenia: Man hit by tree and badly injured In Germering, a man is knocked unconscious by a broken tree. The S-Bahn recorded failures and delays. Overall, according to the weather service, the region got off lightly.
Did David Chipperfield deserve to win? His office prevailed in the large new building project on Schützenstrasse. All eleven designs are now being exhibited – an architectural debate promptly arises.
