Biography
Sonja Ziemann (February 8, 1926, Eichwalde near Berlin – February 17, 2020, Munich) was a German actress, dancer, and singer.
She was one of the most popular German film stars of the 1950s, best known for her leading roles in the Heimatfilm classics The Black Forest Girl (Schwarzwaldmädel, 1950) and Green Is the Heath (Grün ist die Heide, 1951), frequently appearing opposite Rudolf Prack. Trained as a dancer and actress, she began her film career during World War II and successfully continued after the war.
In later years, Ziemann expanded into more dramatic roles and appeared in international productions such as The Secret Ways (1961) and The Bridge at Remagen (1969). After the 1970s, she worked only occasionally in film and television. She died in 2020 at the age of 94.
