Ammerland on Lake Starnberg is home to many artists.
This is where Pirmin Sedlmeir grew up, an actor with a love for wild theater.
Münsing -
Pirmin Sedlmeir (33) comes from the Hörbiger dynasty.
His great-grandfather is Paul Hörbiger (“Hallo Dienstmann”), who is omnipresent in post-war cinema, and his uncle is the actor and comedian Christian Tramitz (“Hubert without Staller”, “Manitou's Shoe”).
His mother Manuela, a teacher for Latin and Protestant religion in the Schäftlarn monastery, is Christian Tramitz's sister.
He had a lot of contact with the uncle in the red Spider, he was his role model.
Sedlmeir grew up with his siblings Paul and Maresa across from the Ammerlander Dampfersteg.
He discovered the theater for himself at Schäftlarn Abbey.
He plays his first role in the play “Pull the plug out, the water is boiling” by Ephraim Kishon.
But his path is by no means mapped out.
Rather, after graduating from high school, he first tried a brewery training at the Mühlfelder Brauhaus in Herrsching.
Only when he was accepted for the four-year acting course at the University of the Arts in West Berlin did it become clear that he would follow a path similar to that of many in the family.
After completing his studies, Sedlmeir is engaged at the Oldenburg State Theater.
“There was also a district there called Ammerland,” he recalls.
“Maybe that's why I felt so comfortable,” he adds with a smile.
During this time he was nominated as Young Actor of the Year in the trade journal “Theater heute” for his interpretation of a radio reporter in the play “War of the Worlds”.
He also gained experience on television, namely at the side of Matthias Brandt in “We would be other people”.

In 2017 Sedlmeir moved to the famous, because avant-garde, Schauspielhaus Bochum.
Here, together with fellow campaigners, he developed the idea of the "Rumpelpumpel Theater".
The ludicrously bizarre piece “Loli Jackson in search of the meaning of everything” will be performed on a converted market cart from 1968, with songs that he wrote and composed himself.
The piece will celebrate its premiere in May 2018.
The anarchist wild goings-on finds many fans, for example in front of the job center in Wattenscheid, North Rhine-Westphalia.
Many people in the district can also enjoy the play's wit, most recently with the “Society under the Apple Tree.” In the fall, Pirmin Sedlmeir, who now lives in the Irschenhausen district of Ickingen, started to study scripts at the Munich Film School.
