Hannelore Elsner was born in Burghausen/Bavaria.
With a filmography of more than 150 theatrical and TV feature films and countless roles in serials, this ubiquitous talent can truly be considered a German icon.
Hannelore Elsner played her first film roles as a teenager and went on to study acting in Munich.
In the sixties she worked mainly in theater and TV. Edgar Reitz (Heimat) was responsible for her return to the cinema in 1973 by casting her in “Die Reise nach Wien". After two decades on television, she was –once again- rediscovered for the big screen starring in Oskar Roehler’s "Die Unberührbare", which won her the German Film Award.
Her new film VIVERE will be released in the U.S. this spring.

We are delighted to welcome Hannelore Elsner in Los Angeles and at the Goethe-Institut.
The Goethe-Institut Los Angeles pays hommage to her talent and the release of "Vivere" with some of her recent films.
