He assumed a heavy inheritance. When Martin Lüttge appeared in 1992 as Commissioner
Bernd Flemming, he was supposed to fill the gap, which had been torn by the
departure of Götz George in the role of Horst Schimanski. The WDR was now seeking a successor to the
Ruhr area.
Lüttge did not even try to emulate the sympathetic rascal
George: Instead of finding himself in the proletarian primal mud of Duisburg,
his Flemming in bourgeois Düsseldorf, instead of seeking relaxation at
one-night stands, he retired after his work on his farm far from of the city.
Lüttge's television director Flemming was more of a
thoughtful type. And when he did not
think about it, he would sweat on his farm in the sauna. Instead of using his biceps, he developed his
brain.
Great performance as a fist
The actor was born in Hamburg and had a considerable
physical presence. At the end of the
fifties he went to England, where he worked in the acting industry, playing in theaters. Back in Germany he attended the Neue Münchner
Schauspielschule.
As a theatrical actor, Lüttge always filled the stage,
for instance as Faust in the production of Claus Peymann at the Staatstheater
Stuttgart 1977. Previously he was active at the Munich Kammerspielen and at the
Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus. In 1978 the farmers and colleagues established a
theater on a farm in Mehring near Burghausen, which became known as Theaterhof
Priessenthal.
Lüttge was featured in major television productions such
as "Der Lord von Barmbeck" (1973), "Die Wannseekonferenz"
(1984) or "In the Shadow of Power" (2003). He played his role as a "Tatort"
commissioner Flemming only a relatively limited time, overall he appeared in 15
assignments.
Nevertheless, his Düsseldorfer Fernsehenhrevier also has
a certain significance for the current "Tatort" Germany: As Klaus
Flemming-Sidekick, Klaus J. Behrend played first roles in the role of Max
Ballauf , the investigator who is still active in Cologne's "Tatort". Just the 20th anniversary of this TV-station
was celebrated .
Lüttge, however, was active his last years in another
German TV show: until 2013, he had a fixed role in the series "Forsthaus
Falkenau". As his agent reported,
Martin Lüttge passed away last Wednesday in Schleswig-Holstein. He was 73 years old.
