Book Description
Peter Mühlen, a multifaceted personality in the German media scene, gave an interview at his home in Haar, near Munich, on August 1, 2012. Due to a severe health crisis the night before, Mühlen was unable to speak and initially had his partner, Sissy Engl, answer the posed questions. Peter Mühlen handed me several lines indicating that he intended to end his life. The interviewee, who had a versatile career as a radio host, actor, director, and music critic, was known for his meticulous documentation of his life and experiences. He had a significant impact on Munich's cultural scene and played a crucial role in reviving Erich Wolfgang Korngold's opera "Die tote Stadt" in Germany. Mühlen became known in the 1960s through his radio show 'Peter Mühlens Plattenkiste' on Bayerischer Rundfunk. He was also a co-founder of the private radio station "Neue Welle Bayern – Antenne München" and taught at the 'Mandolin Motions Einstein Show-Academy,' a project he started with Engl. Mühlen's life was limited by a severe illness that took his voice in March 2012, which is why he eventually answered my interview questions in writing. He passed away on September 15, 2012, and was honored at his funeral with Paul McCartney's 'Give Peace a Chance,' highlighting his deep connections to both cultural history and personal expression.
