Biography

    • Ludwig Trepte played his first leading part in "Kombat Sechzehn" (2005). He then played parts in films such as "Guten Morgen, Herr Grothe" (2008) and "Ihr könnt euch niemals sicher sein" (2009), for each of which he was awarded a Grimme-Preis and for the latter also the special award for best leading actor at the Baden Baden television film festival. For his role as Paul in the feature film "Keller-Teenage Wasteland" he was awarded the prize for "Best Up-and-Coming Actor" at the 27th Max Ophüls Film Festival 2006. In 2008, he received the young talent award of the Golden Camera followed by the "Curd Jürgens/Lili Palmer Memorial Camera". Ludwig Trepte received international attention as Viktor Goldstein in "Generation War". The film was awarded the international EMMY in the category TV Movie/Mini-Series in 2014. The eight-part series "Deutschland 83" (2015), in which he plays the general's son Alexander Edel, was praised by the national and international press. The series was selected as the "Best International Series" at the "Festival Séries Mania" in France in 2015 and received the international EMMY in the category TV Movie /Mini-Series. In addition, "Deutschland 83" was the first German series to premiere on American television. Before "Deutschland 83", Ludwig Trepte played the leading role in the short film "The Last Will" by Dustin Loose, based on the short story of the same name by the Swedish bestselling author Håkan Nesser. In 2015 the short film was awarded the Student Oscar of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles. The actor performed outstandingly as the violent rocker Nico, alongside Frederick Lau and Kida Khodr Ramadan in the mini- series "4 Blocks" (2016). This series also caused a sensation both nationally and internationally: "4 Blocks" was awarded the Grimme Prize and the Golden Camera, among others. Ludwig Trepte has appeared in numerous film and television productions in recent years. Among them in the ZDF three-part TV film "Tannbach" (2014, directed by Alexander Diehrbach), "Bornholmer Straße" (2013, directed by Christian Schwuchow), "Eine mörderische Entscheidung" (2012, directed by Raymond Lay), "Deckname Luna" (2011, directed by Ute Wieland), "Die Kinder der Villa Emma" (2015, directed by Nikolaus Leytner), and in "Katharina Luther" as the scholar Melanchton (2016, directed by Julia von Heinz). Most recently he appeared on the cinema screen alongside Jella Haase and Saskia Rosendahl in the drama "Nirgendwo" (2016, directed by Matthias Starte), in which he played the leading part of the student Danny. In 2017 he was back in front of the camera as the general's son Alexander Edel for "Deutschland 86" and the feature film "Spielmacher".

Quotes

  • No [I wasn't a good student]. I wasn't stupid but I was bored. Boredom in school is the worst. My father had to take the blame a lot because I was a ruffian. I declared the classroom the stage due to disinterest in the curriculum. And I was aiming for direct confrontation. [How did that manifest itself?] I properly argued with the teachers. I had already read a lot back then, Brecht, Schiller, and I thought, the stuff you are presenting to myself here I don't need. A female teacher once left the classroom crying because of me. Today I think this was tactless of me. But I was longing for something to be interested in. Due to boredom, I doodled cameras and storyboards into the exercise books back then.
