Private Munich Memorial Honors Screen Legend Mario Adorf

His ashes will be interred later in Saint‑Tropez at a private ceremony.

Overview

  • The invitation-only service at Jesuitenkirche St. Michael on Saturday brought together family and prominent friends, including Senta Berger, Veronica Ferres and Günter Netzer.
  • Iris Berben called Adorf “an accomplice of art and of life” and described a final gift he sent her—a bronze Moses statue she read as a call to moral vigilance.
  • Manager Michael Stark quoted Adorf’s recent line about mortality, saying he wanted to accept the end without complaint.
  • After the service, guests gathered at Munich’s Hotel Bayerischer Hof, where staff opened a view to the pool made famous by his Kir Royal scene.
  • The family says a separate burial of his ashes will follow at the Cimetière marin in Saint‑Tropez with no further public events announced.
