Biography
Doris Schade (born May 21, 1924, in Frankenhausen; died June 25, 2012, in Munich) was a German actress.
Doris Schade received her acting training at the *Altes Theater* in Leipzig and made her stage debut in 1946 as Luise in *Kabale und Liebe* (Intrigue and Love) at the *Städtische Bühnen* in Osnabrück. Over the following decades, she was a member of the ensembles at theaters in Bremen, Nuremberg, and Frankfurt am Main, among others, before becoming a defining actress at the *Münchner Kammerspiele* starting in 1961. Further engagements took her to venues such as the *Deutsches Schauspielhaus* in Hamburg, the *Burgtheater* in Vienna, and the Salzburg Festival. On stage, she collaborated with renowned directors including Fritz Kortner, Peter Zadek, Dieter Dorn, and Claus Peymann.
In addition to her extensive theater work, Schade also appeared regularly in film and television productions. Following early television broadcasts of stage productions, she took on roles in popular series such as *Tatort* and *Derrick*. She played her first feature film role in 1981 in Margarethe von Trotta’s award-winning drama *Die bleierne Zeit* (Marianne and Juliane). She later collaborated with von Trotta again on *Heller Wahn*, *Rosa Luxemburg*—in which she played Clara Zetkin—and *Rosenstraße*. She became known to a younger audience through her role as Grandma Slättberg in the films *Die Wilden Hühner*, *Die Wilden Hühner und die Liebe*, and *Die Wilden Hühner und das Leben*. Schade lived in Munich in her final years and passed away in 2012 at the age of 88.
