Death of Bruno Ganz



Bruno Ganz (22 March 1941 – 16 February 2019) was a Swiss actor whose career in German stage, television, and film productions spanned nearly 60 years. He was known for his collaborations with the directors Werner Herzog, Éric Rohmer, Francis Ford Coppola, and Wim Wenders, earning widespread recognition with his roles as Jonathan Zimmerman in The American Friend (1977), Jonathan Harker in Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979), Daniel the Angel in Wings of Desire (1987) and Adolf Hitler in Downfall (2004).

In February 2018, doctors in Salzburg found that Ganz was suffering from intestinal cancer, and he immediately began chemotherapy. He died on 16 February 2019 at his home in the village of Au, in Wädenswil, Switzerland, at the age of 77, a month shy of his 78th birthday.
