Winfried Junge – Berlin, 1935
After studying German Literature, Winfried Junge transferred to the German Academy of Cinematography in Potsdam-Babelsberg in 1954. He completed his studies in 1958 with the theoretical thesis "Some Problems of the Design of the New Hero in the DEFA Documentary Film with an Industrial Theme". He then worked at the DEFA studio for popular science films as an assistant to the documentarist Karl Gauss. It was from Gauss that the idea for the Golzow series came in 1961.
