Hamburg – Dieter Wedel wrote as a director and film and television history. He was one of the most successful German directors in the country. Now he dies at the age of 82 – the cause of death has not yet been announced.
The director was indicted by prosecutors last year over a 1996 allegation. The reason for this was actress Jany Tempel.
