Konrad Wolf
Encyclopedia : K : KO : KON : Konrad Wolf
-->Konrad Wolf (Hechingen 20 October 1925 - Berlin, 7 March 1982) was a East German film director, son of Friedrich Wolf, brother of Markus Wolf.
He left Germany to Moscow with his family when the Nazis took power in 1933, where Wolf came with intense contact with Soviet film. At age 10, he played a minor role in the film Kämpfer, filmed among the German Communist emigrants in Moscow. At age 17 he joined the Red Army and he was among the first troops to reach Berlin in 1945. He described later these events in the 1968 film Ich war neunzehn (I was nineteen).
Wolf returned shortly after the war to Moscow, where he studied at VGIK. He worked afterwards as a film director at DEFA. He was the President of the Academy of Arts of the GDR from 1965 until his death in 1982.
