Heinz Becker: A Saarlander with new ideas - the end is approaching!

The well -known cabaret artist Dudenhöffer, who became known primarily through his role of Heinz Becker in the popular series “Family Heinz Becker”, plans to rethink his career in the near future. In a current interview, he said that his current “Dod” program (life is the end) is expected to have a term of two years. After this time he could imagine breaking up with his impressive cabaret career-unless a new inspiring idea makes him continue.

Dudenhöffer, who created unforgettable moments on German television between 1992 and 2004, wrote a total of 20 programs. His unique figure, the Saarländer Heinz Becker, is primarily known for her views and her pronounced opinion, which she has brought closer to the spectators over almost four decades.

The fascination for Heinz Becker

The cabaret artist explains that his success as Heinz Becker results from the constability of the figure. "I think I have never changed Heinz in a comprehensible manner," said Dudenhöffer. Although the figure has become more calm, calmer and more political over time, it is still very popular: "I am lucky that the audience still likes the Heinz." This aspect of the figure - the familiarity and resistance - significantly contributes to its ongoing success.

Dudenhöffer adds that the origin of the figure is more or less random. Heinz Becker could have been designed just as well, and the dialect selection - Saarpfälzisch - only played a subordinate role. "It works in Fulda, Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Berlin," he explains. This shows that good entertainment is universal and goes beyond local peculiarities.

Recently Dudenhöffer also discovered a new passion for drawing. "That came as a surprise to him," he says. In his tranquil home in Bexbach in Saarland, he has set up a small job with a drawing board and donation. "And if I feel like it, I sit down and then have my peace." This creative activity could also give him new impulses for his cabaret work.

For Dudenhöffer, the cabaret is not just a profession, but a lifestyle. His distinctive humor and the way he lets his viewers share in everyday life has brought him a loyal fan base over the years. The connection to his audience remains an essential part of his art for him. "It's not just about laughter, but about a relationship with people", this is summarized in its ability to reflect on everyday life and open up new perspectives.

In today's world, the cabaret artist also faces challenges that make the audience laugh less. But Dudenhöffer also sees a chance here: "People need laughing, maybe more than ever." The awareness of offering entertainment in difficult times and at the same time reflecting on the thought content of his characters is part of his art that continues to motivate him.
