- Gertrud Pfiel was born in present day Croatia, the daughter of an engineer and inventor. A strikingly beautiful blonde with high cheekbones and expressive blue eyes, she grew up in Vienna where she was trained as a singer and dancer, embarking on a theatrical career by the age of fifteen. Until 1944, 'Gertraud' regularly performed at various theatres in Berlin, Hamburg and Vienna. During a performance, she came to the attention of the director Fritz Lang, who became instantly enamored with her. Without an audition, Lang gave her a starring role as a defecting Russian spy in Spies (1928), the success of which led to further back-to-back leads in Woman in the Moon (1929) and Hochverrat (1929).
Lang eventually left his wife and long-time collaborator, the screenwriter Thea von Harbou, while Gerda Maurus went onto marry another prolific director, Robert A. Stemmle, who directed her in Daphne und der Diplomat (1937). During the sound era, Gerda was intermittently given further opportunities to shine, including opposite Hans Albers (Dope (1932)) and Paul Hörbiger (Prinzessin Sissy (1939)), but she seemed somehow unable to repeat the success of her earlier (silent) films. Her association, however tenuous, with Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels tainted her career during the immediate post-war period. While her acting ban was eventually lifted, she rarely again graced the screen, but for several more years continued on as a stage actress in Munich and Düsseldorf. - Sybille Binder was born on 5 January 1895 in Vienna, Austria-Hungary [now Austria]. She was an actress, known for Das Dreimäderlhaus (1918), Lost Daughter (1949) and The Man from Morocco (1945). She was married to Otto Falckenberg and Herr Kahn. She died on 30 June 1962 in Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia, West Germany.

Beuys took part in the Second World War as a fighter pilot. During a mission in 1943 he crashed over the Crimea. During his sick bed, Beuys was treated with tallow and wrapped in felt. This experience was decisive for him and his later art materials, because alongside wax and copper, fat and felt were among his preferred materials from which he formed works of art. Between 1946 and 1955 he joined the Kleven Artists' Association. From 1947, Joseph Beuys studied painting and sculpture at the Düsseldorf Art Academy. He was a student of Josef Enseling and later a master student of Ewald Mataré. In 1953 he had his first solo exhibition of sculptures and drawings in Wuppertal and Kranenburg. Beuys suffered from depression due to his war experiences. That's why he stayed in Kranenburg for a long time in 1957. In 1961 he was appointed professor at the Düsseldorf Art Academy. He taught there until 1972. In 1964 he took part in the Kassel art exhibition documenta for the first time. From then on he exhibited there regularly.
In 1965 his first exhibition was organized in Alfred Schmeler's gallery in Düsseldorf. In 1967, Beuys founded the "German Student Party" on the occasion of the unrest surrounding the Shah's visit to Germany and the murder of the student Benno Ohnesorg. Beuys wanted to advocate for universities to operate autonomously and for a fairer admissions process. In 1970 he founded the "Organization of Non-Voters, Free Referendum". In the same year an exhibition took place in the Hessian State Museum in Darmstadt. In addition to drawings and pictures, the so-called "Beuys Block", multi-part room installations, were also shown there. In 1971 Beuys founded the "Organization for Direct Democracy through Referendums". In a spectacular action that same year, Beuys and his students occupied the secretariat of the Düsseldorf Art Academy. He also allowed students who had previously been rejected by the academy to take part in his lessons.
The following year he took part in documenta 5. There he exhibited an office of his "Organization for Direct Democracy through Referendum" and was present there every day of the hundred days of the exhibition. Once again, Beuys filled the academy secretariat with rejected university applicants. He received notice of termination from Johannes Rau, the North Rhine-Westphalian Minister for Science and Research. Public protests against the termination came from Martin Walser, Peter Handke, Heinrich Böll and Gerhard Richter, among others. In 1973 he founded the "Free International University for Creativity and Interdisciplinary Research". Three years later he took part in the Venice Biennale and the Berlin Zeitgeist exhibition. In 1978, the legal dispute over Beuys' dismissal because of the occupation of the secretariat was ended. The artist had sued against the dismissal and was granted justice. The termination was unlawful. Beuys agreed to a compromise that granted him the title of professor and the rights to use the studio.
In 1978 he accepted a visiting professorship at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. A year later he received a retrospective at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York and he ran for the European Parliament. In 1980 he took up a visiting professorship at the Städel Art School in Frankfurt/M. true. He tried for a seat in the state parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia for the Green Party. In 1984, Beuys exhibited his works at the Seibu Museum in Tokyo. His other exhibitions include the event "Cross and Sign - Religious Foundations in the Work of J.B." in 1985. and participation in "German Art in the Twentieth Century Painting and Sculpture 1905-1985" in London. In addition to his efforts to unite nature and spirit in art, Beuys also valued the political commitment to which he used his work. The basis for the politicization of art was his idea of applying the artist's creativity to all areas of life.
In practical terms, he carried out actions such as planting 7,000 oak trees and setting up 7,000 basalt steels for dokomenta 7 (1982) in order to draw attention to the problems of environmental destruction. Beuys often used his variety of artistic forms of expression for counter-projects, which he equipped with magical-religious elements in order to demonstrate his rejection of a purpose-oriented rationalism.- Actor

- After the NSDAP came to power, the Spiegel family first moved to the neighboring Warendorf. After Kristallnacht in 1938, the family moved on to Brussels. Spiegel survived the Holocaust in Flanders, where he was hidden by a farming family. His sister had previously been arrested during a raid in Brussels; she died in a concentration camp. His father Hugo Spiegel survived the Buchenwald, Auschwitz and Dachau concentration camps. In 1945 the family was the first Jewish family to return to Warendorf. The father rebuilt the synagogue community. Paul Spiegel completed his school education here. The traumatic childhood experiences of National Socialist persecution and war sharpened the young Paul Spiegel's political awareness at an early age. The rebirth of Jewish life in post-war Germany was due to a special socio-political commitment of the Jewish population, whose members, with a distinct Jewish identity, nevertheless, as Germans, critically contributed to the reconstruction process of the Federal Republic.
An expression of this awareness was Spiegel's early commitment to the Jewish community. In 1958 he began a traineeship at the "Allgemeine Jüdische Wochenzeitung" in Düsseldorf, where he then worked as an editor until 1965. In the 1960s, Spiegel also wrote as a correspondent for various press organs, including: Montrealer Nachrichten, Nieuw Israelietisch Weekblad (Amsterdam), Neue Welt (Vienna), Jüdische Rundschau Maccabi (Basel), Der Mittag (Düsseldorf), Neue Rhein- Newspaper (Düsseldorf) and Westfälische Rundschau (Düsseldorf). In 1964 Spiegel married Gisèle Spatz, with whom he had two daughters. Three years later he was elected to the Jewish local council in Düsseldorf. From 1965 to 1972 he worked as editor of the Jewish press service and as assistant to the general secretary of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, the umbrella organization of the Jewish communities in the Federal Republic.
He subsequently worked as editor-in-chief of the magazine "Mode & Wohnen" (Düsseldorf) from 1973 to 1974 and as a senior public relations officer for the Rhenish Savings Banks and Giro Association from 1974 to 1986. In 1984, Spiegel was appointed chairman of the local council of the Jewish community in Düsseldorf. In 1986 he founded an international artist agency that bore his name. In addition to supporting international artists, he was also heavily involved in the socio-political area through his membership in the "Association against Forgetting - for Democracy" and as chairman of the "Citizens for Citizens" foundation. From 1989 to 2000, Spiegel also served as chairman of the Central Welfare Office for Jews in Germany. The recognized journalist joined the broadcasting council and the program committee of WDR in 1991. From 1993, Spiegel held the office of vice president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany under the chairmanship of Ignatz Bubis. In 1995 he was appointed chairman of the regional association of Jewish communities in North Rhine-Westphalia.
After Bubi's death in August 1999, Spiegel succeeded him as President of the Central Council of Jews in Germany in 2000. As the highest representative of the Jewish population in Germany, he stood out - in keeping with his predecessors Heinz Galinski and Ignatz Bubis - as a critical warning against the recent xenophobic and anti-Semitic phenomena in reunified Germany. The particular sensitivity expressed towards irresponsible approaches to history prompted the chairman of the Central Council of Jews in Germany to make an unequivocal statement in the spring of 2002 in the "anti-Semitism dispute" triggered by the FDP politician Jürgen W. Möllemann: Paul Spiegel stood behind him the personally attacked Vice President of the Central Council, Michel Friedman, and thereby made it clear that the cause of the conflict was not to be found in personal animosity between the two opponents, but in a politically irresponsible, election campaign strategy maneuver by the FDP.
At the same time, Spiegel draws attention to itself through journalistic educational initiatives about Judaism. As an author he published the titles "Shavua Tov! A good week! Jewish towers from Schwäbisch Gmünd" (2001), "Home again?" (2003), "What is kosher?" (2003), and "Conversation about Germany" (2006). Spiegel received numerous awards, including the Order of Merit of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia (1993), the Federal Cross of Merit 1st Class (1997), honorary citizenship of the city of Warendorf (2000) and the Heinrich Albertz Prize (2001). - Anton Imkamp was born on 4 September 1899 in Münster, Westphalia, Germany. He was an actor, known for Mein Herz ruft nach dir (1934), Stimme des Blutes (1938) and Capriccio (1938). He died on 28 January 1959 in Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
- Klaus Kaluscha was born in Dresden, Saxony, Germany. He was an actor, known for Die Maus (1975), Graf Yoster gibt sich die Ehre (1967) and Dein gutes Recht (1975). He died on 4 June 2001 in Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
