Sigrid Grajek - Claire Waldoff - Ich will aber gerade vom Leben singen

On January 22, 1957, at the age of 72, a woman named Claire Waldoff died in Bad Reichenhall after her second stroke. Actually, she was called Klara Wortmann. She was born on 21.10.1884 in Gelsenkirchen as the daughter of a former miner and Schankwirts and his wife. She had wanted to be a doctor ... But everything else was different.


She discovered her love for the theater, changed her name and landed at the cabaret in Berlin - and there she wrote history!


From 1907 to 1935 she was the star on the boards of the great cabarets and vaudeville, her songs were singer-songwriters and were sung on the street: "Hermann heeht he!", "Who's throwing dawn with clay?" "Get out with the men the Reichstag ", among others
