Karl May games: Winnetou actor Alexander Klaws has Corona

Corona threw Alexander Klaws out of the saddle. But there is still a little time until the Premier – and hope is high.

Winnetou actor Alexander Klaws tested positive for Corona a few days before the premiere of the Segeberg Karl May Games 2022.

“We are all incredibly sorry that Alex is ill. We wish him to be with us again soon, »said managing director Ute Thienel, according to a press release. However, the organizers hope that he will be able to play in the premiere of the play “Der Ölprinz” on Saturday evening. “The time window for recovery is sufficient,” said Thienel.

The organizers quoted Klaws as saying: “Unfortunately, it got me! But of course I’m not giving up hope that I’ll be fit again for the premiere and I’ll do everything I can to be back in the saddle as soon as possible.”

If Klaws has not yet recovered, Sascha Hödl will take over the Winnetou role. He had already played the Apache chief for five years in Winzendorf, Austria, and last year in a live radio play in the Indian Village in Bad Segeberg. Hödl is part of the ensemble as oil field owner Jackson and Nijora warrior Ka Maku. The other members are all healthy, said a spokesman.

“Der Ölprinz” was supposed to be performed in the summer of 2020. But the season, like that of 2021, was canceled due to the corona pandemic.
