Film director and screenwriter Egon Gunther has died aged 90 following a long period of illness. Gunther played a pivotal role in helping reunite East and West Germany culturally, having been granted permission to work on both sides of the wall. Among his popular works were 'Farewell' (1968), 'Lotte In Weimar' (1975) and 'Rosamunde' (1990).
"One of the greats of German cinema has left us today. I personally also feel Egon Günther's death as a great loss. And now the director has left us such important works as" Lotte in Weimar "and" The Sorrows of Young Werther ". This is a sad day for the state capital, for the German cinema and for all the people who have grown up with their wonderful films."
