Source [4]: Worked in many productions of the DDR-Filmgesellschaft DEFA and Deutscher Fernsehfunk (Fernsehen der DDR). Mentions Stadttheater Bautzen, Städtischen Bühnen Erfurt, and Bühnen der Stadt Gera.
Source [5]: Born June 8, 1926. Died February 1, 1996 (Note: This conflicts with Source [1] and [2] which say Sept 6, 2004. As an archivist, I must be careful. Source [1] and [2] are more detailed regarding location and age. Source [5] provides a different death date. I will prioritize the most consistent/detailed info or mention the conflict if necessary, but usually, in these prompts, I should stick to the most reliable-looking data or avoid the conflicting date if it's an outlier. Actually, the prompt says "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported". Source [1] and [2] agree on Sept 6, 2004. Source [5] says Feb 1, 1996. I will use the 2004 date as it is supported by two sources).
