Manfred Krug: Remembering the German actor on his 10th anniversary

German actor and musician Manfred Krug is remembered on the tenth anniversary of his death on October 21, 2016. Krug was a prominent figure in both East and West Germany, achieving massive success as an actor, singer, and author.

His former 'Tatort' partner, Charles Brauer, expressed his enduring grief, noting that Krug's presence is missed daily. The duo, known as the ‘Swinging Cops’ for incorporating jazz into their crime series between 1986 and 2001, shared a deep friendship. Brauer is set to embark on a tour titled ‘Christmas Memories of Manfred Krug’ starting in late November.

Krug's career spanned significant historical shifts, from his early years as a steelworker to becoming a beloved television star in roles such as Robert Liebling in ‘Liebling Kreuzberg’. His work reflected the post-war history of Germany, leaving a lasting impact on the nation's entertainment landscape.
