Manfred Krug, born February 8, 1937, in Duisburg, Germany, is a singer and actor. He began his career as an actor before transitioning into music with the release of his first album Jazz und Lyrik in 1964, followed by Manfred Krug und die Modern Jazz Big Band (1965) and Lyrik - Jazz - Prosa (1966). In 1976, the East German government banned him from working due to his participation in protests against the expulsion of Wolf Biermann. Krug moved to West Berlin and continued his acting career, notably starring in the television series Auf Achse from 1978 to 1995 and Tatort from 1984 to 2001. He passed away on October 21, 2016, in Berlin.
