Swiss actor Bruno Ganz, who played Adolf Hitler cooped up in his Berlin bunker in Downfall and an angel in Wim Wenders’ Wings Of Desire, has died at the age of 77.
German news agency dpa reported that Ganz’s management said on Saturday that he died in Zurich.
In one of his more recent appearances, he starred as Sigmund Freud in The Tobacconist, released in 2018.
Berlin Mayor Michael Mueller said Ganz was “one of the greats” of the screen and stage.
He said: “The death of Bruno Ganz is a great loss for the German-speaking theatre and film world.”
