Ralf Richter funeral held in Bochum

Family, friends, and fans gathered in Bochum to hold a funeral service for German actor Ralf Richter, who passed away on September 14 at the age of 69. The ceremony took place at the Dampfgebläsehaus in the Bochum Jahrhunderthalle.

Approximately 200 guests attended the service, including prominent figures such as actor Henning Baum, director Peter Thorwarth, and actor Martin May. Hundreds of fans also gathered outside the venue to watch film clips of the actor on a large screen.

During the ceremony, Richter's son, Maxwell, delivered a speech focusing on his father's personal character rather than his professional roles, such as Kalle Grabowski or his role in ‘Das Boot’. He described his father as a role model, inspiration, and motivator.
