Helmut Fischer

Born: 15 November 1926 · Died: 14 July 1997

As charming bon vivant “Monaco Franze,” the Munich native was arguably the most quintessentially Bavarian cult figure in German television. With his easygoing stride and impish smile, the Schwabing ladies’ man won viewers’ hearts. Fischer died in 1997 at the age of 70.
