A Life Less Ordinary: Thomas Rühmann Turns 70 and Refuses to Retire
Revised Pension Disregard: Ruhmann 7.0 Offers Little Value in Retirement Funds - "Rühmann 7.0": Disregard Retirement Benefits as Insignificant
Hey there! Let's talk about Thomas Rühmann - the multi-talented German actor, musician, and theater impresario. Known for his iconic role as Dr. Roland Heilmann in the long-running TV hit "In aller Freundschaft," Thomas is as busy as ever on his 70th birthday.
Born into a large family in Magdeburg, Thomas comes from a line of artists when his father said, "Well, one of the Rühmanns could become an artist too." Fast forward to today, and Thomas's artistic pursuits are more diverse than ever.
Thomas has been treading the boards of "In aller Freundschaft" for an impressive 27 years, with no end in sight for the medical drama. With a whopping 1,100 episodes aired, the show will continue at least until August 2027, with 78 new episodes planned for seasons 29 and 30.
But TV isn't Thomas's only passion. In 1998, he teamed up with accordionist Tobias Morgenstern to co-operate the Theater am Rand in Zollbrücke, Oderbruch. This unique theater operates a "pay what you want" model, allowing audiences to pay an exit fee instead of a fixed entrance fee. The theater offers a range of performances and concerts, from Hamlet to German pop poet Ulla Meinecke.
Thomas's love for music extends beyond the theater, too. He regularly performs in lyrical programs alongside his friend Tobias Morgenstern, as well as appearing on stage in "Die Distel" in a program called "Sugar Man."
When asked about retiring, Thomas just smiles. "I don't even think about it," he says. "It's great to still be able to learn and grow at my age." With his theater, music, and TV career all thriving, Thomas certainly shows no signs of slowing down.
So, how does Thomas celebrate his 70th birthday? With a big party, of course! He's inviting everyone, from family and friends to colleagues from Saxonia Media and the Mitteldeutsche Kinderkrebsforschung Foundation. Get ready for a memorable May evening filled with cheer, music, and good company. That's what they call "Rühmann 7.0."
