He won fourGerman Film Awards for Best Direction.

Life and career

[edit]

Wicki studied in the city ofBreslau such topics as art history, history and German literature. In 1938, he transferred to the drama school of theStaatliches Schauspielhaus in Berlin. In 1939, because of his membership in theBündische Jugend, he was imprisoned for many months in theSachsenhausen concentration camp. After his release, he moved to Vienna, then in 1944 to Switzerland.

After World War II, he starred in many films, includingDie letzte Brücke (1953) andEs geschah am 20. Juli (1955). He was also a photographer. His first attempt at directing came three years later with the documentaryWarum sind sie gegen uns? (1958). He became internationally famous with his 1959 anti-war filmDie Brücke, which was nominated for theAcademy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.[2] In 1961 he won theSilver Bear for Best Director at the11th Berlin International Film Festival for his filmThe Miracle of Father Malachia.[3] His break in Hollywood came shortly thereafter when he was chosen to directMarlon Brando andYul Brynner in the highly acclaimed World War II espionage thriller,Morituri in 1965.

Wicki was a patron of the International Film Festival in Emden-Norderney, which first started in 1990.

Wicki first married Agnes Fink, a fellow acting colleague, and later married Elisabeth Endriss, also a colleague. In the documentaryVerstörung – und eine Art von Poesie (June 2007), Elisabeth Wicki-Endriss portrayed Wicki's life and work.

Wicki is buried at theNymphenburger cemetery in Munich (grave number 4-1-23).

In 2001, the Bernhard Wicki Memorial Fund was established in Munich. Since 2002, it has awarded a yearly prize,The Bridge, to selected films that promote peace. A further prize of 15,000 euros, endowed in 2006, is presented in his name in the city ofEmden.
