This story does not have two clearly opposing sides.
Today, standing here is incredibly hard for me. Because I don’t really want to talk about my father as if he were no longer here.
I want to call him. I want to hear his voice. I want to discuss things with him, ask him something, tell him something.
For many, he was Kalle Grabowski. For many, he was Frenssen from Das Boot. For many, he was a cult figure in German cinema. But for me, he was something much greater. He was my father.
His genuine nature has always been a role model for me. A heartfelt Glück auf, Ralle!
