Biography
Gerd Lohmeyer (born February 10, 1945, in Würzburg) is a German actor and director.
Gerd Lohmeyer grew up in Nabburg and studied performing arts from 1967 to 1970 at what is now the Berlin University of the Arts. While still a student, he took on his first film roles, including parts in Morgens um sieben ist die Welt noch in Ordnung and Die Feuerzangenbowle, directed by Helmut Käutner. Subsequently, for many years, he focused primarily on his theater work, performing at venues such as the Bavarian State Theater (Bayerisches Staatsschauspiel), the Munich Kammerspiele, the Munich Volkstheater, and other major stages throughout the German-speaking world.
Beginning in the late 1980s, Lohmeyer appeared with increasing frequency in film and television productions. He acted in numerous well-known series, including Ein Haus in der Toscana, Café Meineid, Die Rosenheim-Cops, Der Bulle von Tölz, Lindenstraße, and Tatort. On the big screen, his credits include Der Schuh des Manitu by Michael Herbig and Kirschblüten – Hanami by Doris Dörrie.
Alongside his acting career, Lohmeyer has also worked as a theater director since the late 1990s, staging productions at venues such as the Munich Kammerspiele and the TamS Theater. He has taught acting since 1992 and has served as a lecturer at the Bavarian Theater Academy since 1995. He also reached a broad audience through his long-running role as Michael Gerstl in the series Dahoam is Dahoam, which he played from 2009 to 2023. He lives in Munich with his wife, the actress Monika Manz.
