A look at Christof Wackernagel

But who is the man behind these diverse talents? Wackernagel was born on August 27, 1951 in Ulm and grew up in Munich. [Wikipedia] gives an insight into his eventful life, which was shaped by early acting ambitions. He played his first leading role in the film “Tätowierung” in 1967, which catapulted him onto the radar of the film landscape as a young star. In the 1970s he joined the Red Army Faction (RAF) and was arrested several times for his political activities. After 15 years in prison, he finally found a way back to culture and art.

After a decade in Mali, where he wanted to start a whole-grain bakery, Wackernagel now lives in Ottobrunn and his literary work includes several novels, plays and volumes of poetry. His current publication “POLITICS OF DREAMS: Dream Artwork – Key to Utopia” shows his deep engagement with social issues and offers an ideal setting for his appearance at Giesinger Bahnhof.
