Background notes
Archive material and source history
Hildegard Knef was born in Ulm, Germany in 1925. She left home at 16 to study acting, and made her film debut in 1948 with 'Die Mörder sind unter uns,' an anti-war drama that brought her early attention.
Her 1968 recording of 'Für Mich Solls Rote Rosen Regnen' became her signature song, a ballad of longing that stayed with German audiences for decades. Other songs like 'Ich Hab' Noch Einen Koffer In Berlin' and 'Die Männer sind alle Verbrecher' showed her range as a singer who could handle both melancholy and sharp wit.
Knef worked as both an actress and singer for over six decades, releasing more than 50 albums while maintaining a career in film.
