Hmm. I saw today in EFFector that someone
thinks he can sue to get his name off a wikipedia page which (truthfully) names him as a perpetrator in a murder. As if we would let him get away with that! Without further ado, the
Walter Sedlmayr article:
Walter Sedlmayr
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Walter Sedlmayr (6 January 1926 – 14 July 1990) was a
Bavarian stage, television, and movie
actor.
[edit] Career
After his 1945 wartime
Abitur, Sedlmayr served as a
Flakhelfer towards the end of
World War II. His acting career began with minor roles with the
Münchner Kammerspiele, for which he played more than 25 years, and in numerous
Heimatfilme during the 1940s and 1950s.
In 1971, by now an associate of
Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Sedlmayr was briefly arrested because a stolen artwork, the
Blutenburger Madonna, was found in his house. He was later acquitted of all charges, and the media attention given to his trial helped him gain major roles. His breakthrough came with the leading role in
Hans-Jürgen Syberberg's movie
Theodor Hirneis oder Wie man ehem. Hofkoch wird (1973). Afterwards, Sedlmayr was cast in numerous popular German TV shows, including
Münchner Geschichten,
Der Herr Kottnik,
Der Millionenbauer, and
Polizeiinspektion 1; he also frequently appeared on stage and in other media.
[edit] Murder
On 15 July 1990, Sedlmayr was found dead and mutilated in the bedroom of his Munich apartment. He had been tied up, stabbed in the stomach with a knife and beaten about the head with a hammer.
[1] On 21 May 1993, half-brothers
Wolfgang Werlé and Manfred Lauber, former business associates of Sedlmayr, were sentenced to life in prison for his murder.
[2][3][4]
Sedlmayr's life and murder were the subject of the 2001
biopic Wambo by
Jo Baier, where he was played by
Jürgen Tarrach, and of an episode of the
ARD TV series
Die großen Kriminalfälle.
In October 2009, lawyers for Wolfgang Werlé sent the
Wikimedia Foundation a
cease and desist letter requesting that Werlé's name be removed from the English language
Wikipedia article
Walter Sedlmayr.
