Fritz Wepper was buried in Munich on April 10, 2024. However, a long-time friend was not allowed to attend the funeral service.
Barbara Engel (71), the ex-wife of Bernd Herzsprung (82), wanted to attend. But she was turned away at the entrance to the church. It is unclear why Barbara Engel was not on the guest list – she claims that she was invited. The native of Hamburg had decided to use the memorial service to make peace with Fritz Wepper. “When everyone's gone, I'll give him my letter for Angela. And I'm now totally happy that the two of them are finally together again and that Elmar is there and his mother, because I knew everyone very well,” she stated disappointedly. The “For Heaven’s Sake” star was buried on Wednesday (April 10, 2016) in Munich-Neuhausen. He will find his final resting place in the family grave, reunited with his loved ones.
