Michael Schanze has unexpectedly lost his partner Uschi Köhl. She died on Monday at the age of 70.
Sad news from Michael Schanze (77): The actor and cult presenter has lost his long-time partner Uschi Köhl. The costume designer from Cologne died unexpectedly last Monday (29 July) at the age of 70 from the consequences of “massive brain hemorrhages”,
He reported that he found his girlfriend dead in her winter garden in Munich that afternoon. The actor then called the emergency doctor, who tried to resuscitate the 70-year-old for almost an hour – but without success. “The doctor said Uschi still had no chance. The autopsy revealed massive brain hemorrhages,” said Schanze.
His sons support him
The former “1, 2 or 3” presenter is deeply sad: “I am currently battling in very heavy seas.” Now he has to take care of the funeral and the memorial service. He is receiving support from his sons, who are from his previous marriage, which ended in divorce in 2000.
He met Uschi 40 years ago on the set of his series “Telezirkus”, where she worked as a costume designer. The two became a couple about ten years ago.
