I had my first Kurt Felix experience when I was eleven. The television was small, the colors were over the top, but the way the then 33-year-old Kurt Felix glided down the show stairs had something worldly about it - and was in stark contrast to the moralistic Leutschenbach world of the seventies and early eighties. A little later, on a Sunday walk in Stettfurt, when I thought I caught sight of the gable of the Felix estate, I was thrown into a state of early childhood excitement.

The man was a star - despite his switzerland rcs data eastern Swiss dialect. the trained primary school teacher was the embodiment of the respectable citizen is wrong; rather, he was - and this is meant entirely in a positive way - the telegenic union of the respectable citizen and the founder of the band, although the "right-wing" Felix certainly never counted Max Frisch among his favorite authors. No one has shown more radical films with a hidden camera than Kurt Felix.

Nobody took care of the victims more charmingly than Kurt Felix. This interplay between arsonist and respectable man, this constant wink, was the lifeblood of Felix's success and gave him and his wife Paola not only a fantastic TV career in Germany, but also the most watched TV show in the German-speaking world. It is one of the paradoxes of television history that "Verstehen Sie Spass?" with the hidden camera was one of the most popular programs in the Stasi state of the GDR. Kurt Felix was always more revolutionary than his critics, who also liked to refer to the world revolution, wanted to admit. "Success was the only guarantee of superiority for Kurt in the left-wing SRG," said one of his former work colleagues recently. Actually the best compliment of all. Hey, hey Teleboy, happy birthday and a speedy recovery. Every TV show, as we have learned from you, has a happy ending.
