Uschi Wedel survives her husband Dieter by only 13 days. She was 74 years old. She died in a Hamburg hospital as a result of cancer. Her husband was also treated there. Both have recently spent time together.
According to a report, a few days after the death of the controversial film director Dieter Wedel, his widow also died. As the “Bild” newspaper writes, Wedel’s wife Uschi succumbed to cancer. She was 74 years old. Both were treated in a Hamburg clinic. At times, both were accommodated in one room. She survived her husband by 13 days.
Dieter Wedel died on July 13 at the age of 82. This was announced by the Munich I Regional Court, where criminal proceedings against Wedel were pending because he is said to have raped an actress almost 25 years ago. The case against him was dropped due to his death. Dieter and Uschi Wedel got married in 2014. She was the daughter of the former Bremen Senator Hermann Wolters.
Dieter Wedel was one of the most successful German directors. With miniseries such as “The Great Bellheim” (1993), “The King of St. Pauli” (1998) and “The Semmeling Affair” he delighted an audience of millions and wrote television history. He was also the artistic director of the Bad Hersfeld Festival for a long time.
The first allegations against Wedel became known in early 2018. At that time, three actresses in “Zeit-Magazin” accused him of sexually harassing them in the 1990s.
