Now he has found his last rest: the urn with the ashes of the television presenter Alfred Biolek has been buried in Cologne. This showed his close connection with another family.
On Friday evening, the urn with the ashes of talk show host and cooking show host Alfred Biolek was buried in Cologne’s Melatenfriedhof. Everything was calm and dignified, said his adoptive son Scott Biolek-Ritchie of the German press agency.
«Bio» died on July 23 at the age of 87 in his apartment in Cologne. He had been on the screen for decades, his first great success was the music show “Bio`s Bahnhof” from 1978 to 1982.
Only close friends and family members were present at the funeral after the cemetery was officially closed. The urn was sunk into the ground on the grave of Photokina co-founder Leo Fritz Gruber (1908-2005). Biolek was friends with the family.
His tomb is marked by a simple wooden cross. «Dr. Alfred Biolek »is written on it – and underneath the date of birth and death. The words “In great gratitude” could be read on a wreath on the West German Broadcasting Corporation.
Celebrities such as the painter Sigmar Polke, the popular actor Willy Millowitsch and the former Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle rest in the more than 200-year-old Melaten cemetery.
