Claus-Peter Rathjen

Claus-Peter Rathjen wanted to become an actor as a child, but it was only with the role of "Njegus" in the operetta "Die lustige Witwe" by Franz Lehár that it all began. The Funny Widow "came to him in 1995. The director Mirko Bott, his "discoverer", gave him the speaking role of "Njegus".
In 1996 he co-founded the "Operetten Compagnie Hamburg e. V.". He was its director and responsible for production and press relations for the performances of "The Merry Widow" at Schmidts Tivoli. After that, more than 40 roles were transferred into series, documentaries, as well as many short and feature films. In the theatre engagements "Die Haarmann-Protokolle","Die Räuber", and the productions of PST-entertainment under the direction and direction of Michael Knoll "Meine Brut, mein Vater und ich","Hotel Mama" are to be highlighted. In Lübeck in 2010 he was already seen as a cook and servant in the Christmas fairy tale "The Princess on the Pea" in the "Theater am Tremser Weg". Readings in high and low German for children and adults are of particular importance in his work. For more than 50 years he has been reading in Low German, and the more serious topics are particularly appealing to him. He was also allowed to act as speaker in several radio plays. In Hamburg he volunteers for the "Museum Elbinsel Wilhelmsburg". He has been responsible for press and cultural work there for 10 years.
