From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Werner Schroeter (born April 7, 1945 in Georgenthal, Thuringia) is a German film director, considered, together with Rainer Werner Fassbinder, one of the most important of his country in the post-war period. His 1980 film Palermo oder Wolfsburg, telling the story of a Sicilian guest worker in Germany, won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival. In the 1960s, Schroetor worked with Rosa von Praunheim, who is also gay.[1] He also worked as a theater and opera director, in Germany and elsewhere.
