The evening will focus on Annekathrin Bürger, one of the most popular DEFA actresses, who also played at Berlin's Volksbühne for over 40 years.KÖNIGSKINDER (Frank Beyer, GDR 1962) is about Magdalena (Annekathrin Bürger) and Michael (Armin Mueller-Stahl), who lose touch with each other during the Nazi era and never find each other again because of the chaos of the Second World War. A film full of expressive imagery and montage. In the comedy HOSTESS (DDR 1975), Annekathrin Bürger plays the Berlin tour guide Jette. Disappointed by her boyfriend's (Jürgen Heinrich) unromantic marriage proposal, she splits up with him and tries to find out what love and marriage really mean to her. Made by Bürger's husband Rolf Römer, this ironic game of deception was one of the most successful DEFA films of 1976, attracting almost a million viewers, not least because of the erotic scenes.
