Mein Leben ist kein Drehbuch

Peter Sattmann, one of the most popular German actors, reflects on his life. In his autobiography, he gathers extraordinary stories that are indelibly etched in his memory. His experiences paint a vibrant picture of a life filled with ups and downs – a life that is always good for a surprise. Peter Sattmann's autobiographical tales are wonderfully narrated journeys into a life marked by significant experiences. Whether cheerful or sad, as "time pillars," they have become deeply ingrained in the actor's memory and reveal one thing above all: the absurdities of life are best met with calmness and humor. Sattmann recounts how, at the age of nine, he managed to obtain an exit stamp from East Germany, how he went to Munich as a penniless school dropout, and how he only secured a spot at the acting school thanks to unintentional comedy. He immerses himself in the wild subculture of the 1960s, describes unforgettable moments on Germany's theater stages, confesses his enduring love for Katja Riemann, and takes the reader to distant lands where adventurous situations await. A humorous, charming, and witty look back.
