Tragic announcement: Renowned figure Arthur Brauss, celebrated for his role in the "Great City Triangle," has passed away.

In a touching farewell, renowned German actor Arthur Brauss passed away peacefully at his Munich apartment, with his wife Marie Pocolin-Brauss by his side. Brauss, who spent his later years largely withdrawing from television and public life, leaves behind a legacy of over 100 German and international TV and film productions spanning a remarkable 50-year career.

Brauss' acting career began in 1963 with the film "Delay in Marienborn." This unconventional path to stardom saw Brauss rise from a successful track and field athlete, winning the German youth championship in pole vault, to a scholar of mathematics and economics at the University of Wyoming, where he also gained his first stage experience on the student stage. After completing a commercial apprenticeship, he received a scholarship to study at the University of Wyoming.

Before his acting career, Brauss preferred to impress on camera rather than seek personal attention. This humble approach served him well, as he went on to star in countless TV and film productions throughout his career. One of his most notable roles was in Wim Wenders' 1972 film "The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick."

Brauss also appeared in films such as "The Train" alongside Jeanne Moreau and Burt Lancaster in 1964, and "Ishtar" as a German gunrunner in the 1980s. His television credits include "Großstadtrevier," "Der Alte," "Munich Stories," "Polizeiruf 110," "The Black Forest Clinic," "Derrick," "Commissario Laurenti," and many more.

In recent years, Brauss required round-the-clock care due to his frail health. Despite this, his wife stated that he did not suffer before his death. Brauss will be buried in Munich, marking the end of a life filled with passion and diversity.

Brauss' 50-year long marriage with Marie Pocolin-Brauss was a testament to their deep bond. The couple married quietly last year, adding a beautiful chapter to Brauss' already rich life story.

As we remember Arthur Brauss, we celebrate a life well-lived and a career that brought joy and inspiration to many. His legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of his fans and in the countless productions he graced with his talent. Rest in peace, Arthur Brauss.
