Ulrike Folkerts wrote a book about her life during the corona pandemic. In her autobiography she speaks for the first time about a painful decision that preoccupies her to this day.
Ulrike Folkerts (59) doesn’t mince her words in her memoirs. “I have to get out” is the title of her autobiography – and it obviously refers not only to her outing over 20 years ago, when she first publicly admitted her homosexuality. The “Tatort” star talks about many fundamental aspects of his life, “from the hated dance lesson in rock to trying to rave about the great guy like everyone else, from sexism in the acting industry” to a decisive experience. The actress is the first to openly report an abortion at a young age.
Ulrike Folkerts: “And so there are some places that hurt”
“The demolition was a special linchpin in my life. Had I had the child, my life would have been very different,” the 59-year-old explains in an interview with the “Stuttgarter Zeitung” and the “Stuttgarter Nachrichten” last Saturday (April 10, 2021).
While writing, it became clear to her that all of this only makes sense if she also brings in the painful moments in her life. “And so there are some places that hurt, but belong to me,” explains the actress from “Tatort” commissioner Lena Odenthal, who has been in a relationship with the Berlin artist Katharina Schnitzler for 17 years.
