Peter Berling
Peter Berling ( born March 20, 1934 in Meseritz - Obrawalde ) is a German film producer, writer and actor.
Life
Berling grew after the Second World War in Berlin and Osnabrück. He left high school without school, then trained as a bricklayer, and then studied at the Polytechnic for a semester architecture. He studied graphic design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich; later he came over the advertising graphics for the film.
He participated as an actor in over 130 films, as directed by Werner Herzog, Martin Scorsese, Helmut Dietl, Jean -Jacques Annaud, Volker Schlöndorff, Liliana Cavani and in films by Helge Schneider. He was also known as a producer (eg for Rainer Werner Fassbinder), critic and chronicler. About Cooper Berling wrote the biographical writing The 13 years of Rainer Werner Fassbinder, in which he describes in detail the life and work of the director. He also wrote several screenplays and worked with them, including at the controversial movie games we love from the year 1977. He lived in Rome since 1969.
Berling still occurs on television, such as regularly in the broadcasts 10:50 and Prime-Time/Spätausgabe in which he slips into various roles and costumes and is questioned by Alexander Kluge with mock seriousness. It was only in the mission he learns who he is and what the theme of the show.
The writer and his sources of inspiration
Berling is successful as a writer of gambling in the Middle Ages novels since the early 1990s. For some of his medieval novels Berling processed the conspiracy theory about the Priory of Sion, the book Crusade against the Grail of SS officer and esotericist Otto Rahn and the report itinerary Willelmi de Rubruc of William of Rubruk about his journey to the Mongols and the biography Vie de Saint Louis by Jean de Joinville.
