Director Max Ophüls was born Max Oppenheimer in Saarbrücken, Germany. He began his career as a stage actor and director in the golden twenties. He worked in cities such as Stuttgart, Dortmund, Wuppertal, Vienna, Frankfurt, Breslau and Berlin. In 1929 his son Marcel Ophüls was born in Frankfurt, Germany. He had begun to work under his pseudonym Max Ophüls by that time. In the early 1930s Ophüls discovered the movie world and began to work as an assistant director for Anatole Litvak. He directed his first movies (Dann schon lieber Lebertran (1931), Die verliebte Firma (1932)) in that time too. Around 1933 he emigrated to France and also worked in the Netherlands and Italy for a period of eight years. In 1941 he emigrated again, this time to the USA where he worked for a period of 10 years before he went back to France in 1950. Beginning in 1954 he also worked in Germany again, mainly for German radio in Baden-Baden. Max Ophüls died in March 1957 in Hamburg, Germany and is buried on the famous cemetery Père-Lachaise in Paris, France.- Merlin Sandmeyer was born in 1990 in Saarbrücken, Saarland, Germany.

Alice Liu is a long time New Yorker. She graduated from Yale University with a degree in Economics, Political Science, and International Relations because she wanted to be able to read between the lines while reading a newspaper. After graduation, she took the scenic route to the arts, with stopovers in investment banking, and in food and beverage service. A fun time was had in beverage service.
On the advice of a roommate, Alice began acting. This led to a busy and varied 25-year career in commercials, film, and television as a character actress. She used this time to explore the most important moment of her life-the day she walked into a record store and heard David Bowie's song, "Scary Monsters." This song not only taught her how far outside of the box one could go, but also that every instrument could be its own character with its own life and story. It informed her art so much that when she wrote, performed, and produced her alternative rock album with her band, Missing Chunk, Benjamin Strouse of the New York Peekaboo Festival said, "...Alice uses her eclectic background to great effect by creating a sound that sets this band apart, even in the diverse NYC scene..."
In her pro bono work, Alice has produced fundraising, entertainment, and diversity events for Yale University, the Screen Actors Guild, various nonprofits, and with New York Women in Film and Television. As part of her role in minority advocacy in the arts, she has spoken at New York area colleges and at the American Museum of Natural History. She continues to provide technical writing, graphic design, and display design services to select nonprofits.
As a writer, Alice was the Associate Editor and Book Review Editor for "The Comic Bible," a comedy and entertainment industry magazine. Her "Ten Cents and a Dame" column paid tribute to urban fantasy heroines by demonstrating how the crafting of characters and supernatural archetypes drives humor. She co-wrote "FarmCity" (television pilot script) and her book, "The Hunter: A Middle-Aged Urban Zen Fable," (Toilet Book Press, "books to read on the toilet") was described by comedy writer Marian Rosin as "pack[ing] as profound a philosophical punch as the classic 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.' It's a book that will make you ultimately feel better, braver and more optimistic about life." Alice was in the top 1% of book reviewers on Goodreads (a website for book readers with over 40 million members) when it was acquired by Amazon.com. Additionally, she is a bookseller specializing in Mystery, YA (Young Adult) Supernatural, and Adult Urban Fantasy books.
On a personal level, Alice is an avid collector of bronze animal chops, letterpress print blocks, and other vintage objects that have stories to tell. As an accidental (it just happens!) animal rescuer, Alice is known to be a repeat offender. She loves living things, including mice and rats, but not biting bugs. She enjoys reading on the toilet.- Andrea Maurer was born on 10 February 1982 in Saarbrücken, Saarland, Germany. He is a writer, known for Kulturplatz (2004), Berlin direkt (1999) and ZDFzeit (2012).
- Fridolin Sandmeyer was born in 1987 in Saarbrücken, Saarland, Germany. He is an actor, known for Tatort (1970), Sophie macht Theater (2019) and Trauzeugen (2023).
- Yves Massard was born in 1925 in Saarland, a German region close to the French border, occupied at the time by French troops according to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty. Drawn to the theater, Massard was trained by Pierre Fresnay and started a fruitful career on the boards in such prestigious plays as 'Une grande fille toute simple' (by André Roussin), 'Les mains sales' (by Jean-Paul Sartre) or 'Un tramway nommé désir' (by Tennessee Williams). In parallel, he began to appear in a few late forties films, but in bit parts. His roles started to grow in 1952 and for ten years he worked regularly in up to three films a year. But nothing much remains of his work, at least in film history. To be fair, it is not by starring for Maurice Cloche, Jean Gourguet or Walter Kapps that you buy yourself a stairway to eternity. One major role in a Spanish masterpiece Bardem's 'Calle Mayor' earned him a handful of roles in Spain, but once again it was in desperately uninteresting films, two of which were directed by Jesus Franco, the king of the Z's! After 1962, this good actor worked only sporadically , sometimes in tiny parts in A films (his scenes were even deleted in the Bronson vehicle 'Le passager de la pluie'), at others in more fleshed-out roles but in bombs by Max Pécas or the like. A sad ending for a thespian who deserved better.

- Erich Ernst Paul Honecker (25 August 1912 - 29 May 1994) was a German communist politician who led the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) from 1971 until shortly before the fall of the Berlin Wall in October 1989. He held the posts of General Secretary of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED) and Chairman of the National Defence Council; in 1976, he replaced Willi Stoph as Chairman of the State Council, the official head of state. As the leader of East Germany, Honecker had close ties to the Soviet Union, which maintained a large army in the country.
