The director and screenwriter Klaus Lemke died on Thursday at the age of 81. Lemke, born in Landsberg an der Warthe in 1940 and raised in Düsseldorf, celebrated successes in the 1970s with films such as “Rocker” and “Amore”. His trend-setting film “Rocker” from 1972 is particularly popular. In it, an aging petty criminal who has just been released from prison makes the neighborhood unsafe with a motorcycle gang.
